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, there was the scare with that lion thing
Después, era prohibido fumar y me encontré con dinamita
Then, smoking was forbidden and I ran into dynamite
Todo eso sin contar el tremendo impacto
All that without mentioning the huge impact
Que me llevé con la historia de la chica del gorro
That I got from the story of the girl in 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, my boss suggested
Prestarme aquel cacharro que en el fondo apareció
Lending me that old heap that turned up in the back
Y cuando el Cadillac reparaban yo usaba aquel perol
And while they fixed the Cadillac, I used that old clunker
Esa cafetera es un perol
That coffee pot is a piece of junk
La rueda era ovalada y el arranque era de mano
The wheel was oval and the starter was a hand crank
El freno frenaba un poco retrasado
The brakes were a little delayed
Temblaba como un loco atacado de sambito, sí señor
It shook like a crazy man having a fit, yes sir
Daba pena ver aquel perol
It was pitiful to see that old thing
Monté mi cacharrito y a una gran velocidad
I got in my little jalopy and at a great speed
De diez millas por hora recorrí por la ciudad
Of ten miles per hour, I toured the city
En cuanto yo paré una morena a mi lado se montó
As soon as I stopped, a brunette hopped in next to me
La chica se prendió de mi perol
The girl fell for my old clunker
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 growing more and more attached
Este cacharrito me gustó
I've grown to like this little heap
Pero el Cadillac ya está listo en el taller
But the Cadillac is now ready at the shop
Lavado, preparado y pintado de verdad
Washed, prepped, and properly painted
Pero mi corazón a la hora de cambiar
But my heart, when it was time to switch
Me palpitó
It skipped a beat
Mi corazón quedó en el perol
My heart stayed with the old clunker
Bueno, ustedes me perdonan pero ahora yo me voy
Well, forgive me, but now I'm leaving
Existen mil muchachas que quieren salir conmigo
A thousand girls want to go out with me
Pero todo es por causa de mi cacharro, ¿saben?
But it's all because of my old heap, you know?
Voy, bye, chao
I'm off, bye, ciao
