Candela Verde

Green Candle

Candela Verde

I started dancing cumbiaMe puse a bailar cumbión
Without shoes and without a shirtSin zapato y sin camisa
I started dancing cumbiaMe puse a bailar cumbión
Without shoes and without a shirtSin zapato y sin camisa
With four lit candlesCon cuatro velas prendidas
And a bottle of rumY una botella de ron
And an old dancerY una vieja bailarina
Who passed by and gave me a good burnQue pasó y me dio un buen quemón
Oh, be careful with the old ladyAy cuidado con la vieja
Who's happy with her chaliceQue va alegre con su cáliz
She burned my ribsMe dio un quemón en las costillas
And made me see a green candleQue me hizo ver candela verde
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well thenAy cuidado que me quema, bueno pues
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well thenAy cuidado que me quema, bueno pues
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well thenAy cuidado que me quema, bueno pues
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well thenAy cuidado que me quema, bueno pues

And now comes the good partY ahora viene lo bueno

Come on, she burned meAndale que me quemó
I'll give you a slap to spoil the partyQue te doy un tartarazo para echar a perder la fiesta
Oh yes, if nothing happened here, let the party continueAy si, si aquí no ha pasado nada que siga la fiesta

I started dancing cumbiaMe puse a bailar cumbión
With a shoe in my handCon un zapato en la mano
I started dancing cumbiaMe puse a bailar cumbión
With a shoe in my handCon un zapato en la mano
But an old man with shoesPero un viejo enzapatado
Who gave me a big stompQue me dio un tron pisón
But an old man with shoesPero un viejo enzapatado
Who gave me a big stompQue me dio un tron pisón
Oh, be very careful with the old manAy mucho cuidado con el anciano
Who can't see or hear a thingQue ya no ve ni oye ni al diablo
He stomped on my callusMe dio un pisón aquí en el callo
And made me see even more fireQue me hizo ver hasta candela
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well thenAy cuidado que me pisa, bueno pues
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well thenAy cuidado que me pisa, bueno pues
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well thenAy cuidado que me pisa, bueno pues
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well thenAy cuidado que me pisa, bueno pues

Come on, he stepped on meAndale que me pisó
Well, I'll give you a slap to spoil the partyPues que te doy un pescozón para echar a perder la fiesta
But if I tell you that nothing happened here, let the party continuePero si te digo que aquí no ha pasado nada que siga la fiesta
