Periquito Con Arroz

Oh, I come as an ignorant,Ay yo vengo como ignorante,
I come as an ignorant,yo vengo como ignorante,
As an ignorant I have comecomo ignorante he venido
If they want to see me happy,si quieren verme contento,
I want to be well received.quiero ser bien recibido.

Oh tell me Rami what did you eatAy dime Rami que comiste
- I also want to eat - (repeat 3)-también para comer yo- (repite 3)
Oh, I ate turkey steway yo comi sancocho de pavo
- parakeet with rice - (repeat)-periquito con arroz- (bis)

From the cemetery down,Del cementerio pa' bajo,
From the cemetery downdel cementerio pa' bajo
There is a tough companyhay una dura compañia
It doesn't let the dead outno deja salir los muertos
Neither at night nor during the day.ni de noche ni de dia.

When I met Omar Geles,Cuando conoci a Omar Geles,
When I met Omar Gelescuando conoci a Omar Geles
I told him with my songyo le dije con mi canto
That I was going to be Vallenato Kingque iba a ser Rey Vallenato
And Diomedes' companion.y compañero de Diomedes.

To the man with the candlestick,Al hombre del cabo de velas,
To the man with the candlestickal hombre del cabo de velas
I leave this messageahi le dejo este mensaje
All birds fly,todos los pajaros vuelan,
But they don't sing the same.pero no cantan igual.

For him to sing like me,Pa' que cante como yo,
He has to eat a turkey (repeat)tiene que comece un pavo (bis)
And Omar Geles has to give himy Omar Geles me le dé
Parakeet with rice.periquito con arroz.

- I also want to eat-También para comer yo,
Parakeet with rice - (repeat)periquito con arroz- (bis)
