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