Between Sticks and Joy

Entre Palos y Alegría

Brother, what do you thinkHermano, qué te parece
If we sing a gaita with the cardinals of successSi cantamos una gaita con los cardenales del éxito
Heart boy, tasty, full of rhythmChico de corazón, sabrosa, sandunguerita
That gaita that gives you goosebumps, boyEsa gaita que le para a uno los pelos, chico
Alright, cousinBueno, primo
The delay is for the cuatro to startLa tardanza es que arranque el cuatro

I want to pay tributeQuiero rendirle tributo
To all those who are gaiterosA todo el que sea gaitero
Between sticks of joyEntre palos de alegría
Let's have a big partyFormemos un parrandón
Because the gaita is a fruitPorque la gaita es un fruto
And it sings for the villagersY es cantor de los puebleros
Paying homageRindiéndole pleitesía
To the queen of folkloreA la reina del folclor

Between sticks and joyEntre palos y alegría
The gaiteros go singingLos gaiteros van cantando
And there's a taste of gatheringY hay un sabor a velada
Maracaibo and village styleMaracucha y pueblerina
A mandatory corner songCanto obligado de esquina
That makes the neighborhood vibrateQue hace vibrar la barriada
And brightens the early morningsY alegra las madrugadas
And the Maracaibo nightsY las noches marabinas

How good the gaita soundsQue buena suena la gaita
If the rhythm is traditionalSi el ritmo es tradicional
With a taste of our own thingsCon sabor a cosas nuestras
That bring us happinessQue nos dan felicidad
How good the gaita soundsQue buena suena la gaita
Let's all singVamos todos a cantar
And between sticks and joyY entre palos y alegría
Let's enjoy ChristmasGocemos la Navidad
