The Testament

El Testamento

(With feeling, buddy!)(Con sentimiento compadre!)
Hey, little brunette, you're going to be very lonelyOye morenita, te vas a quedar muy sola
Because last night the radio saidPorque anoche dijo el radio
That they opened the LiceoQue abrieron el Liceo

As a student, Escalona is leavingComo es estudiante ya se va Escalona
But as a memory, he leaves you a strollPero de recuerdo te deja un paseo
That speaks to you, of that immense loveQue te habla, de aquel inmenso amor
That I carry, inside my heartQue llevo, dentro del corazón

That says, everything that I feelQue dice, todo lo que yo siento
That it's pure, passion and feeling!Que es pura, ¡pasión y sentimiento!
Oh! Sung with the pleasant languageAy! Cantado con el lenguaje grato
That the land of Pedro Castro hasQue tiene la tierra de Pedro Castro
(Oh! Man)(Ay! Hombe)

Goodbye, little brunette, I'm leaving in the early morningAdiós morenita, me voy por la madrugada
I don't want you to cry for me because it hurts meNo quiero que me llores porque me da dolor
I pass through Valencia, I take the savannahPaso por Valencia, cojo la sabana
Caracolicito and then to FundaciónCaracolicito y luego a Fundación

And then I have to get intoY entonces me tengo que meter
A devil they call a trainEn un diablo que llaman tren
That leaves and passes through the whole areaQue sale y por toda la zona pasa
And in the afternoon, it goes to Santa MartaY de tarde, se mete a Santa Marta
(And it looks beautiful but sad)(Y se ve bonita pero triste)

That pride you have is not very goodEse orgullo que tu tienes no es muy bueno
Surely later you will regret itSeguro que más tarde te vas a arrepentir
I just wanted to leave you a memoryYo solo he querido dejarte un recuerdo
Because in Santa Marta I could diePorque en Santa Marta me puedo morir

And then you have to cry for meY entonces me tienes que llorar
And as a bonus, you have to pray for meY de ñapa me tienes que rezar
And of course, you have to wearY claro, te tienes que poner
A black suit, even if you don't like itTraje negro, aunque no gustes de él
Then, you will regretEntonces, te vas a arrepentir
How much you made me sufferDe lo mucho que me hiciste sufrir
