The Family

La Familia

Today we are celebratingHoy estamos festejando
Come in, don't be afraidEntra ya, no tengas miedo
Don't be scared, we don't biteNo te asustes, que no muerden
We are few, but goodSomos pocos, pero buenos

Come in and have a drinkPasa y tómate una copa
There's room for another chairQue hay lugar para otra silla
Let me introduce youDéjame que te presente
To my people, my familyA mi gente, mi familia

You see, they all talk at onceYa lo ves, hablan todos a la vez
And then they argue for a monthY después se pelean por un mes
But when things go wrongPero cuando las cosas van mal
They are always by your sideA tu lado siempre están

I want to toastQuiero brindar
For my simple peoplePor mi gente sencilla
For lovePor el amor
I toast for the familyBrindo por la familia

If they hit you with a corkSi te tiran con un corcho
Or a child steps on you as they passO, al pasar, te pisa un niño
In the end, it's justEn el fondo, es tan solo
A sign of affectionUna muestra de cariño

You'll get used to itYa te irás acostumbrando
They're just outgoing peopleSolo es gente extrovertida
When they shout, don't be scaredCuando griten, no te asustes
It means the food is comingEs que viene la comida

You see, they eat everything and thenYa lo ves, comen todo y después
They suffer with the diet againA sufrir con la dieta otra vez
But they never say noPero nunca te dicen que no
If you offer them moreSi les vuelves a ofrecer

I want to toastQuiero brindar
For my simple peoplePor mi gente sencilla
For lovePor el amor
I toast for the familyBrindo por la familia

The dance is about to startYa va a comenzar el baile
Clear the floor and get on itQuiten todo y a la pista
Once again, Aunt will sayQue otra vez dirá la tía
That the girl is an artistQue la nena es una artista

See, I told you¿Ves que yo te lo decía?
In the end, it got goodAl final, se puso bueno
As Grandpa saysComo dice el abuelo
Deep down, we love each otherEn el fondo, nos queremos

You see, this continues and it's three o'clockYa lo ves, esto sigue y son las tres
And tomorrow, we'll eat whatever's left againY mañana, a comer lo que quede otra vez
For everyone, with all my heartPara todos, con el corazón
I sing this song to youYo les canto esta canción

I want to toastQuiero brindar
For my simple peoplePor mi gente sencilla
For lovePor el amor
I toast for the familyBrindo por la familia

I want to toastQuiero brindar
For my simple peoplePor mi gente sencilla
From the heartDe corazón
I toast for the familyBrindo por la familia
