Fried Cakes

Tortas Fritas

It's a custom in the countrysideEs costumbre en el pago
When the rain invitesCuando la lluvia invita
The country-style fried cakesLas criollas tortas fritas
While the bad weather passes,Mientras pasa el mal tiempo,
It's kneaded with feelingSe amasa con sentimiento
Flour, fat, and salt mixHarina, grasa y sal muera
And then, as grandma saysY después como dice la abuela
You have to eat them warm,Hay que comerlas calentitas,
The aroma when they fryEl aroma cuando se frita
As soon as it rains, it takes over the neighborhoodNi bien llueve invade el barrio
An old custom from the countrysideAntigua costumbre del pago
That today I start to rememberQue hoy me pongo a recordar
Buddy, I want to invite youGuainita le quiero invitar
While the storm passesMientras pasa el temporal
Come on, let's have mateVenga que vamos a matear
It's nice for the fried cakes.Esta lindo pa las tortas fritas.
