Buenos días
Good morning
Qué linda que está la plaza
How beautiful the square is
Viajando para Fonseca
Traveling to Fonseca
Yo me detuve en Valledupar
I stopped in Valledupar
Viajando para Fonseca
Traveling to Fonseca
Yo me detuve en Valledupar
I stopped in Valledupar
Y allá en la plaza me encontré
And there in the square I found
Con un viejito conversón
An old man who loves to chat
Y al pasar le pregunté
And as I passed, I asked him
Oiga, compae, ¿cómo se llama usted?
Hey, buddy, what’s your name?
Y allá en la plaza me encontré
And there in the square I found
Con un viejito conversón
An old man who loves to chat
Y al pasar le pregunté
And as I passed, I asked him
Oiga, compae, ¿cómo se llama usted?
Hey, buddy, what’s your name?
"Me llaman compa Chipuco
"They call me Compa Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del Río Cesar
And I live by the banks of the River Cesar
Me llaman compa Chipuco
They call me Compa Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del Río Cesar"
And I live by the banks of the River Cesar"
"Soy vallenato de verdad
"I'm vallenato through and through
Tengo las patas bien pintá
I’ve got my legs all painted up
Con mi sombrero bien alón
With my hat sitting high
Y pa remate me gusta el ron
And to top it off, I love rum
Soy vallenato de verdad
I'm vallenato through and through
Tengo las patas bien pintá
I’ve got my legs all painted up
Con mi sombrero bien alón
With my hat sitting high
Y pa remate me gusta el ron"
And to top it off, I love rum"
"Me llaman Compae Chipuco
"They call me Compa Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del Río Cesar
And I live by the banks of the River Cesar
Me llaman Compae Chipuco
They call me Compa Chipuco
Y vivo a orillas del Río Cesar"
And I live by the banks of the River Cesar"
"Soy vallenato de verdad
"I'm vallenato through and through
No creo en cuento', no creo en na'
I don't believe in stories, I don't believe in anything
Solamente en Pedro Castro
Only in Pedro Castro
Alfonso López y nada más
Alfonso López and nothing more
Soy Vallenato de verdad
I'm vallenato through and through
No creo en cuento', no creo en na'
I don't believe in stories, I don't believe in anything
Solamente en Pedro Castro
Only in Pedro Castro
En Santo Ecce Homo y nada más"
In Santo Ecce Homo and nothing more"
Bueno, viejo, qué le vaya bien
Well, old man, take care
No, gracias, no' vemos (uy)
No, thanks, see you later (oh)
