Mi Cacharrito (Road Hog) Lyrics in English Roberto Carlos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Cacharrito (Road Hog) by Roberto Carlos from Spanish to English.
Esta es una de las muchas historias que suceden conmigo
This is one of the many stories that happen to me
Primero, fue el susto cuando lo de el león aquel
First, it was the scare when it came to that lion
Después, era prohibido fumar y me encontré con dinamita
Then, it was forbidden to smoke and I found dynamite
Todo eso sin contar el tremendo impacto
All that without counting the tremendous impact
Que me llevé con la historia de la chica del gorro
That I had with the story of the girl with the hat
Mandé mi Cadillac al mecánico hace días
I sent my Cadillac to the mechanic days ago
Hace tanto tiempo que en verdad lo merecía
It's been so long that it really deserved it
Y como necesito tanto el carro lo llevé a revisar
And since I need the car so much, I took it for a check-up
Quiero reparar mi Cadillac
I want to fix my Cadillac
En estas circunstancias el patrón me sugirió
In these circumstances, the boss suggested to me
Prestarme aquel cacharro que en el fondo apareció
To lend me that old thing that appeared in the background
Y cuando el Cadillac reparaban yo usaba aquel perol
And while they were fixing the Cadillac, I used that old pot
Esa cafetera es un perol
That coffee maker is a pot
La rueda era ovalada y el arranque era de mano
The wheel was oval and the ignition was manual
El freno frenaba un poco retrasado
The brake stopped a little late
Temblaba como un loco atacado de sambito, sí señor
It shook like a crazy person attacked by sambito, yes sir
Daba pena ver aquel perol
It was embarrassing to see that old pot
Monté mi cacharrito y a una gran velocidad
I rode my little car and at a great speed
De diez millas por hora recorrí por la ciudad
I traveled through the city at ten miles per hour
En cuanto yo paré una morena a mi lado se montó
As soon as I stopped, a brunette got in next to me
La chica se prendió de mi perol
The girl got attached to my old pot
Y muchas otras chicas que encontré por el camino
And many other girls that I found along the way
Estaban encantadas de montar en mi carrito
Were delighted to ride in my little car
Conforme pasa el tiempo yo me estoy encariñando más y más
As time goes by, I'm getting more and more attached
Este cacharrito me gustó
I liked this little car
Pero el Cadillac ya está listo en el taller
But the Cadillac is already ready at the workshop
Lavado, preparado y pintado de verdad
Washed, prepared, and truly painted
Pero mi corazón a la hora de cambiar
But when it comes to changing, my heart
Me palpitó
Palpitated
Mi corazón quedó en el perol
My heart stayed in the old pot
Bueno, ustedes me perdonan pero ahora yo me voy
Well, forgive me, but now I'm leaving
Existen mil muchachas que quieren salir conmigo
There are a thousand girls who want to go out with me
Pero todo es por causa de mi cacharro, ¿saben?
But it's all because of my little car, you know?
Voy, bye, chao
I'm going, bye, chao
