Ni chicha ni limoná
Victor JaraLyrics
Translation
Arrímese mas pa' ca
Come closer over here
aquí donde el sol calienta,
where the sun is hot,
si uste' ya está acostumbrado
if you're already used
a andar dando volteretas
to spinning around
y ningún daño le hará
and it won't harm you
estar donde las papas queman.
to be where things get serious.
Usted no es na'
You're nothing
ni chicha ni limoná
neither here nor there,
se la pasa manoseando
you spend your time fondling
caramba zamba su dignidad.
goodness gracious, messing with your dignity.
La fiesta ya ha comenzao
The party has already started
y la cosa está que arde
and things are heating up,
uste' que era el más quedao
you, who used to be so reserved,
se quiere adueñar del baile
want to take over the dance,
total a los olfatillos
after all, to those little noses
no hay olor que se les escape.
no smell can escape.
Si queremos más fiestoca
If we want more partying
primero hay que trabajar
first we have to work,
y tendremos pa' toítos
and we'll have for everyone
abrigo, pan y amistad
warmth, bread, and friendship.
y si usted no está de acuerdo
And if you don't agree,
es cuestión de uste' nomás
it's your issue alone,
la cosa va pa' delante
things are moving forward,
y no piensa recular.
and there's no intention of backing down.
Ya déjese de patillas
Enough with the nonsense,
venga a remediar su mal
come to remedy your ills,
si aquí debajito 'el poncho
if under the poncho here
no tengo ningún puñal
I have no dagger.
y si sigue hociconeando
And if you keep blabbering,
le vamos a expropiar
we'll expropriate
las pistolas y la lengua
the guns and the tongue,
y toíto lo demás.
and everything else.
