Lyrics

Translation

El monte viene en vidalas

The mountain comes in vidalas

anunciando el carnaval,

announcing the carnival,

china, prepará los tarros

china, prepare the jars

pa' carnavalear.

to carouse.


Se acabaron los dolores

Pains, sadness, and all evil are over,

tristezas y todo mal,

old women rejuvenate

las viejas rejuvenecen

for the carnival.

para el carnaval.


Los viejos se vuelven changos

how beautiful it is to see them play

qué lindo es verlos jugar

clapping in the middle of the mud,

repicando en medio el barro,

let them tap dance.

dele zapatear.


Todos los pagos son lindos

I won't deny it,

pa' que les voy a negar,

but there's nothing like Santiago

pero no hay como Santiago

for carousing.

pa' carnavalear.


Si andás sufriendo de amores

don't start crying for me,

no se me ponga a llorar

rumble towards my homeland

rumbie pa'l lado 'e mi pago

for the carnival.

para el carnaval.


Agua y tuna colorada,

firecrackers to burst,

cuetes para reventar,

wine for the musicians,

vino para los musiqueros

that's carnival.

eso es carnaval.


Harina y grasa de carro

dogs constantly bullfighting,

los perros meta torear,

leave the mess, buddy,

deje el entrevero chango,

preach away.

dele predicar.
