Translation

Una troquita coloradita rumbadorcita es de don isaac

A little red truck, a rumbling one, belongs to Don Isaac

Es tironera como cualquiera, nunca se queda ni aqui ni allá

It's a puller like any, never stays here or there

Hay muchas gentes que son sus clientes y de repente la oyen pitar

There are many people who are its clients, and suddenly they hear it honking

Sale el pasaje con su equipaje que va de viaje, va pa terán

The passengers come out with their luggage, going on a trip, heading to Terán


Pasa volada la condenada, va bien cargada va pa terán

The darn thing passes by, heavily loaded, heading to Terán

Vuelve en la tarde con el compadre y la comadre de don isaac

Returns in the evening with the compadre and the comadre of Don Isaac

Es muy buen coche pa andar de noche le aplana el clutch sin rechinar

It's a very good car for traveling at night, the clutch is pressed without squeaking

Porque su dueño no le da sueño y con mucho empeño la sabe arrear

Because its owner doesn't give it sleep and with great determination, knows how to handle it


Por compostura ella no se apura y no le dura sin trabajar

For appearance, it doesn't rush, and it doesn't last without working

Quita fierritos poco a poquito y muy prontito la vuelve a armar

Takes out little pieces bit by bit and very quickly puts it back together

Y victorina que es cosa fina en la cocina la ha de encontrar

And Victorina, who is a fine thing in the kitchen, will find it there

Esta guisando y esta torteando esta esperando a don isaac

She's cooking and baking, waiting for Don Isaac


Pasa volada la condenada, va bien cargada va pa terán

The darn thing passes by, heavily loaded, heading to Terán

Vuelve en la tarde con el compadre y la comadre de don isaac

Returns in the evening with the compadre and the comadre of Don Isaac

Es muy buen coche pa andar de noche le aplana el clutch sin rechinar

It's a very good car for traveling at night, the clutch is pressed without squeaking

Porque su dueño no le da sueño y con mucho empeño la sabe arrear

Because its owner doesn't give it sleep and with great determination, knows how to handle it
