El Viejo Joven

Con su sombrero de lana,

With his woolen hat,

y su pasito retorson,

and his twisty little step,

le pone chispa a la fiesta,

he adds spark to the party,

el joven viejo el viejo sabroson,

the young old man, the flavorful old man,

tiene alegría demás,

has an excess of joy,

tiene candela en los pies,

has fire in his feet,

no lleva pareja al baile

he doesn't bring a partner to the dance,

para bailar no se necesitan tres.

because three are not needed to dance.

(Chorus):

(Chorus):

El viejo joven, el joven viejo,

The old young man, the young old man,

que baila y gosa por que no es,

who dances and enjoys because he's not,

tonto,

foolish,

El viejo joven, el joven viejo,

The old young man, the young old man,

que baila y gosa ya lo vez.

who dances and enjoys, you see it.

Con su camisa cuadrada,

With his checkered shirt,

y con sus botas bien voleadas,

and with his well-polished boots,

las bailadores le sobran,

he has an abundance of dancers,

y no le estorban sus años de verdad,

and his genuine years don't bother him,

tiene alegría demás,

has an excess of joy,

tiene de niño el corazón,

has a child's heart,

le gusta bailar con banda,

likes to dance with a band,

al viejo joven le gusta el bacilon.

the old young man likes to party.
