La Bola (Echame a correr la bola)
Me han dicho que anda la nueva
que te pedí p'a casarme
cuando tu no querís darme
un besito, ni de prueba,
el rumorcito se eleva
y mi esperanza se amola,
como hoy te encuentro a tí sola
la ocasión es de medida,
dame un besito en seguida
para que corra la bola.
Echame a correr la bola
échamela, échamela,
por el esterito abajo,
por el cerro y la quebrá.
Echame...
Me voy a ensayar
para ir al civil,
me caso en Enero
me aparto en Abril...
Me ...
Que siga rodando fuerte,
que la bola no se atraque
y aunque me pongan en jaque,
qué importa, si es por quererte.
Mañana quiero ir a verte
y si me sale camorra,
aunque tu padre me aforra
tú me darás de repente
un besito ante la gente
para que quedado la corra.
The Ball (Spread the word around)
I've been told that the news is out
that I asked you to marry me
when you don't want to give me
a little kiss, not even as a test,
the rumor starts to spread
and my hope fades,
like today I find you alone
the occasion is right,
give me a kiss right away
to spread the word around.
Spread the word around
spread it, spread it,
down the little stream,
through the hill and the ravine.
Spread it...
I'm going to practice
for the civil wedding,
I'm getting married in January
I'm moving out in April...
I...
Let it keep rolling strong,
let the ball keep rolling
and even if they put me in check,
what does it matter, if it's for loving you.
Tomorrow I want to go see you
and if I get into trouble,
even if your father scolds me,
you will suddenly give me
a kiss in front of people
to keep the word spreading.
