Almejas(original) |
José María se casó |
Con María José |
Y tuvieron dos hijos |
María y José |
Los mandaron a la escuela |
De San José |
Pero María nunca iba |
Y José nunca fue |
Porque cuando cumplieron los diecisiete |
Se mudaron juntos a la capital |
Y pusieron una venta de carnadas |
Y con eso no les iba nada mal |
El primero fue un buen año |
Y el segundo también |
Prosperaba día a día |
Crecía mes a mes |
Todo el mundo que pescaba |
Quería tener |
Las almejas que vendían |
María y José |
La gente hacía cola |
Para no quedarse sin pescar |
Ya desde primera hora |
El puestito comenzaba a funcionar |
Almejas, almejas |
En el puesto de la rambla y Gallinal |
Almejas, almejas |
Y la gente no paraba de comprar |
Almejas, almejas |
Un producto de primera calidad |
Ésta es la mejor carnada |
Para el pescador profesional |
Las almejas se agotaban |
Y la gente no paraba de sacar |
Pero almejas brasileras |
Comenzaron a aparecer |
Y pa' peor con el Mercosur |
Les bajaron el arancel |
Y con el precio resultante |
Era imposible competir |
El puestito de la rambla |
Ya no pudo subsistir |
Y todo esto les trajo |
Un fracaso comercial |
Se fueron barranca abajo |
Tuvieron que cerrar |
Amêijoa, amêijoa |
Por la rambla ya se empezaba a gritar |
Amêijoa, amêijoa |
Y la gente no paraba de comprar |
Amêijoa, amêijoa |
Importada de segunda calidad |
Era la opción económica |
Para el pescador profesional |
Que por una suma módica |
Sacaba igual que con la nacional |
Almejas, almejas |
Las almejas brasileras |
Prefieren los pescadores |
Ya no vamo' a tener |
Que apretá' a los provedores |
Almejas, almejas |
Las almejas brasileras |
Nos coparon el mercado |
Ya no vamos a tener |
Más problemas con Cambadu |
Almejas, almejas |
Son de mala calidad |
Las almejas brasileras |
Pero parece notarlo |
Ninguna roncadera |
Almejas, almejas |
Nos tendremo que meté |
Las almejas n' el ojete |
Ya no vamos a tener |
Más problemas con los flete |
(translation) |
Jose Maria got married |
with Maria Jose |
And they had two children |
Maria and Jose |
They sent them to school |
From San jose |
But Maria never went |
And Joseph never was |
Because when they turned seventeen |
They moved together to the capital |
And they put on a bait sale |
And with that they did not go wrong |
The first was a good year |
and the second too |
I prospered day by day |
It grew month by month |
Everyone who fished |
Wanted to have |
The clams they sold |
Maria and Jose |
people queued |
So as not to run out of fish |
Already from the first hour |
The stall began to work |
clams, clams |
At the Rambla and Gallinal stand |
clams, clams |
And the people did not stop buying |
clams, clams |
A top quality product |
This is the best bait |
For the professional fisherman |
Clams ran out |
And the people did not stop taking out |
But brazilian clams |
They began to appear |
And for worse with Mercosur |
They lowered the tariff |
And with the resulting price |
It was impossible to compete |
The stall on the boulevard |
could no longer survive |
And all this brought them |
a commercial failure |
They went down the ravine |
they had to close |
Amêijoa, amêijoa |
On the boulevard they were already beginning to shout |
Amêijoa, amêijoa |
And the people did not stop buying |
Amêijoa, amêijoa |
Imported second quality |
It was the cheap option |
For the professional fisherman |
That for a modest sum |
He served the same as with the national |
clams, clams |
brazilian clams |
fishermen prefer |
We are no longer going to have |
That squeezed the providers |
clams, clams |
brazilian clams |
They took over the market |
we are no longer going to have |
More problems with Cambadu |
clams, clams |
They are of poor quality |
brazilian clams |
But he seems to notice |
no snoring |
clams, clams |
we will have to put |
The clams n' the asshole |
we are no longer going to have |
More freight problems |
