Ni Se Compra Ni Se Vende

Not Bought Nor Sold

Ni Se Compra Ni Se Vende

I come running the whole worldYo vengo corriendo el mundo entero
Without fame or moneySin fama ni dinero
And with delayed hungerY con hambre retrasá
I exchange pans and potsYo cambio sartenes y pucheros
For lighter stonesPor piedras de mechero
And clothes that are wornY ropa que esté usá
But the donkey I bring underneathPero el burro que traigo debajo
I don't sell it for any cashNo lo vendo por ningún parné
Because even though the dude doesn't understand the jobQue aunque el tío no camela el trabajo
He runs just like a Mercedes BenzCarbura lo mismo que un mercedes benz
Not bought nor soldNi se compra ni se vende
My donkey BaldomeroMi burrico baldomero
Not bought nor soldNi se compra ni se vende
Because just like the silversmithPorque al igual que al platero
He has his verses and his spiritsTiene sus versos y sus duendes
Like my father-in-law's donkeyQue el borrico de mi suegro
Like my father-in-law's donkeyQue el borrico de mi suegro
Not bought nor soldNi se compra ni se vende

I no longer have taste or joyNo tengo ya gusto ni alegría
I carry a feeling that can't be enduredQue traigo un sentimiento que no se pué aguantar
My donkey died of pneumoniaMi burro murió de pulmonía
And he stayed in my arms wanting to kiss meY se quedó en mis brazos queriéndome besar
I'm left with no one in the worldYo me quedo sin nadie en el mundo
I have no children or wifeYo no tengo niños ni mujer
Only my talkative father-in-law remainsSólo queda mi suegro facundo
Who is much more stubbornQue es mucho más burro
Than the one I buriedQue el que yo enterré
I no longer have anyone to buyYa no tengo quién me compre
My donkey BaldomeroMi burrico baldomero
I no longer have anyone to buyYa no tengo quién me compre
Because he's in a holePorque está en un agujero

Very close to AyamonteMu cerquita de ayamonte
And as a tombstone I have placedY por lápida le he puesto
And as a tombstone I have placedY por lápida le he puesto
