Translation of the song lyrics El Primo - Juan Luis Guerra 4.40

El Primo (original)

Tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Y no sé cómo calificarlo
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Y no sé cómo calificarlo
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Que se tuesta con un sol de Mayo
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Que se tuesta con un sol de Mayo
Que maneja de reversa
Que es poeta y escultor
Que cocina sin receta
Todo lo que quiere y más
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Que ahora sueña con ser diputado
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Que ahora sueña con ser diputado
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Que se tranca como mesa de dados
Pero que tengo un primo, Baldemiro
Que se tranca como mesa de dados
Que es jurista, licenciado
Cirujano y buen actor
Periodista asalariado
Todo lo que quiere y más
Tengo un primo…
Que conoce a Michael Jordan y es actor
Que respira bajo el agua y es pintor
Que es sociólogo y piloto de un avión
Tengo un primo, oye que te dije
Que no quiero repetirlo más
Que maneja de reversa
Que es poeta y escultor
Que cocina sin receta
Todo lo que quiere y más
Tengo un primo…
Que se viste de De La Renta al por mayor
Que es más fuerte que Sylvester Stallone
Que es jurista, cirujano y buen cantor
Tengo un primo, oye que te dije
Que no quiero repetirlo más
Que ha subido al pico Duarte
Que es atleta y campeón
Que bucea sin un tanque
Todo lo que quiere
Tengo un primo, eh…
Que es jurista, licenciado
Cirujano y buen actor
Periodista asalariado
Todo lo que quiere y más
Tengo un primo…
Que respira bajo el agua y es doctor
Toca puerta y dice que toca trombón
Que es cantante, pelotero y boxeador
Tengo un primo, oye que te dije
Que no quiero repetirlo más

El Primo (translation)

I have a cousin, Baldemiro
And I don't know how to rate it
I have a cousin, Baldemiro
And I don't know how to rate it
I have a cousin, Baldemiro
That is toasted with a May sun
I have a cousin, Baldemiro
That is toasted with a May sun
who drives in reverse
That he is a poet and sculptor
who cooks without a recipe
Everything he wants and more
I have a cousin, Baldemiro
That now he dreams of being a deputy
I have a cousin, Baldemiro
Who now dreams of being a deputy
I have a cousin, Baldemiro
That locks like a dice table
But I have a cousin, Baldemiro
That locks like a dice table
That he is a lawyer, licensed
Surgeon and good actor
Salaried journalist
Everything he wants and more
I have a cousin…
That he knows Michael Jordan and is an actor
That he breathes underwater and is a painter
That he is a sociologist and an airplane pilot
I have a cousin, hey what did I tell you
That I don't want to repeat it anymore
who drives in reverse
That he is a poet and sculptor
who cooks without a recipe
Everything he wants and more
I have a cousin…
Who wears De La Renta wholesale
That he is stronger than Sylvester Stallone
That he is a jurist, a surgeon and a good singer
I have a cousin, hey what did I tell you
That I don't want to repeat it anymore
That he has climbed the Duarte peak
That he is an athlete and champion
That he dives without a tank
everything he wants
I have a cousin, huh…
That he is a lawyer, licensed
Surgeon and good actor
Salaried journalist
Everything he wants and more
I have a cousin…
That he breathes underwater and is a doctor
He knocks on the door and says that he plays the trombone
That he is a singer, baseball player and boxer
I have a cousin, hey what did I tell you
That I don't want to repeat it anymore
