Periquito Con Arroz
Ay yo vengo como ignorante,
yo vengo como ignorante,
como ignorante he venido
si quieren verme contento,
quiero ser bien recibido.
Ay dime Rami que comiste
-también para comer yo- (repite 3)
ay yo comi sancocho de pavo
-periquito con arroz- (bis)
Del cementerio pa' bajo,
del cementerio pa' bajo
hay una dura compañia
no deja salir los muertos
ni de noche ni de dia.
Cuando conoci a Omar Geles,
cuando conoci a Omar Geles
yo le dije con mi canto
que iba a ser Rey Vallenato
y compañero de Diomedes.
Al hombre del cabo de velas,
al hombre del cabo de velas
ahi le dejo este mensaje
todos los pajaros vuelan,
pero no cantan igual.
Pa' que cante como yo,
tiene que comece un pavo (bis)
y Omar Geles me le dé
periquito con arroz.
-También para comer yo,
periquito con arroz- (bis)
Parakeet with Rice
Oh, I come as an ignorant,
I come as an ignorant,
As an ignorant I have come
If they want to see me happy,
I want to be well received.
Oh tell me Rami what did you eat
- I also want to eat - (repeat 3)
Oh, I ate turkey stew
- parakeet with rice - (repeat)
From the cemetery down,
From the cemetery down
There is a tough company
It doesn't let the dead out
Neither at night nor during the day.
When I met Omar Geles,
When I met Omar Geles
I told him with my song
That I was going to be Vallenato King
And Diomedes' companion.
To the man with the candlestick,
To the man with the candlestick
I leave this message
All birds fly,
But they don't sing the same.
For him to sing like me,
He has to eat a turkey (repeat)
And Omar Geles has to give him
Parakeet with rice.
- I also want to eat
Parakeet with rice - (repeat)
