La Receta(original) |
Le escribi a Juancito que yo no encontraba la inspiración |
Pa' hacer un merengue que lleve el sabor que hay en la provincia |
Le escribi a Juancito que yo no encontraba la inspiración |
Pa' hacer un merengue que lleve el sabor que hay en la provincia |
Le pedi a Juancito que mande contestación |
Y que lo mas pronto me escriba ese merenguito |
Y le di las gracias por toda su educación |
Y quede esperando tranquilo ese favorcito |
Y le di las gracias por toda su educación |
Y quede esperando tranquilo ese favorcito |
Me escribió Juancito a pesar de que es hombre muy ocupado |
De su manuscrito la carta que ha llamado mi atención |
Me escribió Juancito a pesar de que es hombre muy ocupado |
De su manuscrito la carta que ha llamado mi atención |
En correspondencia, rezaba a continuación |
Para hacer merengue yo les tengo la receta |
Una guacharaca, una caja, un acordeón |
Y una voz alegre que conserve la cadencia |
Y que en una paila lo pongas en el fogón |
Y lo vas meneando pa' que tome consistencia |
Le pones esencias que nazcan del corazón |
Le das la sazón y una hojita de paciencia |
Y después le rallas cascaritas de limón |
Y haces la canción con tus propias experiencias |
El tiempo que se va, se va |
Que no se lleve la inocencia |
El tiempo que se va, se va |
Que no se lleve la inocencia |
Sigo leyendo abajito, en donde dice advertencia |
Que para hacer un merenguito las cosas tienen su ciencia |
Que para hacer un merenguito las cosas tienen su ciencia |
A baila, a baila |
Les traigo mi merenguito |
A baila, a baila |
Les traigo mi merenguito |
Del caribe colombiano |
Como le pedi a Juancito |
Con su toque provinciano |
Pa' los pobres y los ricos |
Para todos mis hermanos |
Pa' los grandes y los chicos |
Que ahi les traigo la receta |
Para hacer un merenguito |
El tiempo que se va se va |
Ya nunca podrás detenerlo |
Toma la vida con calma |
Dejemos tantos misterios |
Que se nos pasan los años |
Después no hay remedio |
(translation) |
I wrote to Juancito that I couldn't find the inspiration |
To make a meringue that carries the flavor that is in the province |
I wrote to Juancito that I couldn't find the inspiration |
To make a meringue that carries the flavor that is in the province |
I asked Juancito to send a reply |
And as soon as possible, write me that meringuito |
And I thanked him for all his education |
And I was quietly waiting for that little favor |
And I thanked him for all his education |
And I was quietly waiting for that little favor |
Juancito wrote to me even though he is a very busy man |
From your manuscript of him the letter that has caught my attention |
Juancito wrote to me even though he is a very busy man |
From your manuscript of him the letter that has caught my attention |
Correspondingly, he prayed below |
To make meringue I have the recipe |
A guacharaca, a box, an accordion |
And a cheerful voice that keeps the cadence |
And that in a pan you put it on the stove |
And you are shaking it so that it takes consistency |
You put essences that are born from the heart |
You give him the seasoning and a little leaf of patience |
And then you grate lemon peel |
And you make the song with your own experiences |
The time that goes, goes |
Don't take away innocence |
The time that goes, goes |
Don't take away innocence |
I keep reading below, where it says warning |
That to make a little meringue things have their science |
That to make a little meringue things have their science |
to dance, to dance |
I bring you my meringue |
to dance, to dance |
I bring you my meringue |
From the Colombian Caribbean |
As I asked Juancito |
With your provincial touch |
For the poor and the rich |
for all my brothers |
For the big ones and the boys |
Here I bring you the recipe |
To make a meringue |
The time that goes away |
You can never stop it |
take life easy |
Let's leave so many mysteries |
that the years pass us by |
After that there is no remedy |
