Los Paraguas

The Umbrellas

Los Paraguas

Cumbiancheros told me a while agoMe contaron cumbiancheros que hace tiempo
That they used to traffic marijuana on the cornerEn la esquina traficaban marihuana
That came down from the north to SantiagoQue bajaba desde el norte hasta Santiago
It wasn't green, it was just pressedNo era verde, solamente era prensada
Anxious, I felt like a pipeAngustiado por un caño me sentía
My little feet ran alone to the cornerMis patitas corrían solas pa' la esquina
With a luca empanada I would light upCon una empana de luca me prendía
I would end up more high than a pigMás vola'o que un chancho yo quedaba

They were the umbrellas of the lady on the cornerEran los paraguas de la tía de la esquina
They were the umbrellas! They were the umbrellas!¡Eran los paraguas! ¡eran los paraguas!

The umbrellas, the umbrellasLos paraguas, los paraguas
The umbrellas, the umbrellasLos paraguas, los paraguas

That's it!¡Eso!

Clap your hands, damn it!¡Arriba las palmas, chuchesumare!

To dance and enjoy itPara bailarla y vacilarla
To dance and enjoy itPara bailarla y vacilarla
To dance and enjoy itPara bailarla y vacilarla
To dance, clap your hands, my girl!Para bailarla ¡arriba las palmas, mi guacha!

Already burning with the guys on the cornerYa quemando con los cabros en la esquina
The silhouette of the patrol is seenSe divisa la silueta del patrulla
A bunch of cops were following usUn ejército de pacos nos seguían
They light us up with their guns and batonsNos alumbran con sus fierros y metracas
In the cell, I resign myself hereEn la cana me resigno aquí en la selda
Remembering the crazy little numberAcordándome del manso numerito
With a little rum in handCon un roncito de Luca en la mano
A brick of umbrella in my pocketUn ladrillo de paragua en el bolsillo

They were the umbrellas of the lady on the cornerEran los paraguas de la tía de la esquina
They were the umbrellas! They were the umbrellas!¡Eran los paraguas! ¡eran los paraguas!
