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