Machala Machala
El Guato
Lyrics
Translation
Siempre se ha acostado y se ponia a a pensar
He has always laid down and started to think
Que no queria ser como ellos y empesaba a soñar
That he didn't want to be like them and started to dream
Con una gran mansion como con 7 mil sirvientes
About a grand mansion with about 7,000 servants
Visitado por ministros y tambien por presidentes
Visited by ministers and also by presidents
Presidentes ahh, presidentes ahh
Presidents ah, presidents ah
Oró y hablo de lujos y de cosas muy costosas
He prayed and spoke of luxuries and very expensive things
Carros deportivos y mujeres mas que muy frondosas
Sports cars and women more than ample
Muchisimos amigos con beeper y celular
Many friends with pagers and cell phones
Pero ninguno de los maes tenia felicidad
But none of the guys had happiness
Felicidad felicidad
Happiness, happiness
Se le acabo ese sueño y un cigarro encendio
That dream ended, and he lit a cigarette
Y se dijo uy que suerte, que suerte q no soy yo
And he said, oh, how lucky, how lucky I'm not him
Pensando nuevamente su cigarro se apago
Thinking again, his cigarette went out
Y al cerrar sus ojos suavemente susurro
And closing his eyes, he softly whispered
Machala machala que dios no me castigue
Machala machala, may God not punish me
Con dinero, con joyas ni con muchos lujos
With money, with jewels, or with many luxuries
Claro esta, claro esta que no se le olvide
Of course, of course, don't forget
Castigarme con mujeres y con mucho vino y ron
To punish me with women and with a lot of wine and rum
Hoy dia el se acuesta y se pone a meditar
Today he lies down and starts to meditate
De lo que tiene a su alcanze y no lo deja escapar
About what he has at his fingertips and doesn't let it slip away
Mucha diversion y casi siempre con su gente
A lot of fun and almost always with his people
Alejado de soñar con lo que no le pertenece
Away from dreaming about what doesn't belong to him
Pertenece ahhhhhhh pertenece ahhhhhhhh
Belongs, ahhhhhhh belongs, ahhhhhhhh
