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
