Ya Suena La Gaita

The Bagpipe is Already Playing

Ya Suena La Gaita

Let's go to the party, sisterVamos pa la fiesta hermana
Let's go to the pilgrimageVamos pa la romería
You wore a new skirtTú estrenaste saya nueva
I wear the one I hadYo llevo la que tenía

I wear the one I hadYo llevo la que tenía
And with it I go happilyY con ella voy contenta
Because the young man who courts mePorque el mozu que me ronda
Doesn't notice the new skirtNo se fija en saya nueva

The bagpipe is already playing, the drum is already playingYa suena la gaita, ya suena el tambor
The bagpipe player is heard, the bass drone is heardYa se oye el punteru, ya se oye el roncón
Who is playing it so well?¿Quién ye quien la toca que tan bien sonó?
It's Remis Ovalle, the great bagpipe playerYe remis ovalle gaiteru mayor

From Spain to ArgentinaDesde España a la Argentina
From China to New YorkDesde china a nueva york
From Portugal to FranceDesde Portugal a Francia
There is no better bagpipe playerYa no hay gaitero mejor

He has silver handsTiene la manos de plata
His fingers are made of diamondsSus dedos son de diamantes
To play the bagpipePara tocar el punteru
Like no one else canComo no lu toca nadie

The bagpipe is already playing, the drum is already playingYa suena la gaita, ya suena el tambor
The bagpipe player is heard, the bass drone is heardYa se oye el punteru, ya se oye el roncón
Who is playing it so well?¿Quién ye que la toca que tan bien sonó?
It's Remis Ovalle, the great bagpipe playerYe remis ovalle gaiteru mayor
