El Duende Del Bandoneon
Los Fronterizos
Lyrics
Translation
Comienza a pechar
He starts to push forward
La gente a llegar
People start to arrive
Porque el baile ya empezó
Because the dance has begun
Se pone a tocar y empieza a cuerpear
He starts to play and begins to move
Miguel con su bandoneón
Miguel with his bandoneon
Su fuelle por ahí, le pide tomar
His bellows around, asks for a drink
Un trago en el mostrador
A drink at the counter
¿será que tendra reseca la voz
Could it be that his voice is hoarse
De puro trasnochador?
From being a night owl?
Permiso señor: ¡yo quiero pasar!
Excuse me, sir: I want to pass!
¡También santiagueño soy!
I too am from Santiago!
No puedo faltar allí donde está
I cannot miss where he is
Tocando Miguel simón
Playing, Miguel indeed
Sabe que no puedo faltar allí donde está
He knows I cannot miss where he is
Tocando Miguel simón
Playing, Miguel indeed
La noche al pasar
The night as it goes by
Se quiere quedar
Wants to stay
Farreando de Sol a Sol
Partying from dawn to dusk
Y meta teclear no quiere aflojar
And non-stop typing, he doesn't want to quit
Miguel con su bandoneón
Miguel with his bandoneon
yo sé que a Miguel lo sabe encontrar
I know that Miguel knows how to find
El duende del bandoneón
The spirit of the bandoneon
Y después con el se quiere quedar
And later he wants to stay with
Metido en su corazón
Embedded in his heart
