El Zaguán

The Entrance

El Zaguán

Hurry up, my heartApurate corazón
Go sweep the porchAnda barre la enramada
There's a flag in the windowQue hay bandera en la ventana
And we're gonna party hardY aquí será el parrandón

I'm gonna decorate the entranceVoy adornar el zaguán
And kill four chickensY matar cuatro gallinas
My house has been chosenMi casa ha sido escogida
They put up a white flagPusieron bandera blanca
We're gonna have a gatheringHaremos un velada
That lasts two or three daysQue dure dos y tres días

If you come to partySi vienen a parrandear
You're welcome at my placeBienvenidos a mi casa
And with the lovely TomasaY con la negra tomasa
The music's gonna startLa gaita va a comenzar

How great it is to drownQué bueno es morir ahogao
Jumping in headfirstTirándose de cabeza
Into a barrel of beerEn un barril de cerveza
And waking up all bruisedY amanecer abollao

The traditional musicLa gaita tradicional
Stands out in my verseEn mi verso se destaca
With drums, four-string, and maracasCon furro cuatro y maraca
And a branch to sing alongY una enrama pa cantar
