El Cuervo
Valentín Elizalde
Lyrics
Translation
El cuervo en una ladera
The crow on a hillside
lloraba su soledad ay, ay, ay, ay
cried out its loneliness ay, ay, ay, ay
por que la cuerva no quizo
because the female crow refused
darle de amor caridad
to give him love or charity
Ay pobrecito del cuervo
Oh, poor little crow
que gran dolor le quedo ay, ay , ay ,ay
what great pain remained ay, ay, ay, ay
mas grande fue el desengaño
greater was the disillusion
que el escribano le dio
that the notary gave him
*Yeah, Sale mi Sergio...Puro pa'rriba los Morales*
*Yeah, Here comes Sergio... Purely upward the Morales*
No les des todo el dinero
Don't give them all your money
tampoco todo el amo ay, ay, ay, ay
nor all your love ay, ay, ay, ay
por que cuando menos piensas
because when you least expect it
te juegan una traición
they play a betrayal on you
Ay que bonito, ay que bonito
Oh, how beautiful, oh, how beautiful
le dije a mi corazón ay, ay, ay, ay
I told my heart ay, ay, ay, ay
parece que ando en Guasave
it seems like I'm in Guasave
paseandome con mi amor
strolling with my love
*Ahi hay agua pa' que tomen... Sale Calili... Pa' mi compa Marcos...Uuuaa*
*There's water for you to drink... Here comes Calili... For my friend Marcos...Uuuaa*
El cuervo con tantas plumas
The crow with so many feathers
no se pudo mantener ay, ay, ay ,ay
couldn't sustain itself ay, ay, ay, ay
y el escribano con una
and the notary with one
mantubo hijos y mujer
sustained children and a wife
No les des todo el dinero
Don't give them all your money
tampoco todo el amo ay, ay, ay, ay
nor all your love ay, ay, ay, ay
por que cuando menos piensas
because when you least expect it
te juegan una traición
they play a betrayal on you
Ay que bonito, ay que bonito
Oh, how beautiful, oh, how beautiful
le dije a mi corazón ay, ay, ay, ay
I told my heart ay, ay, ay, ay
parece que ando en Guasave
it seems like I'm in Guasave
paseandome con mi amor
strolling with my love
