La Carneada (original)La Carneada (translation)
Cuando era chico vivía en el campo When I was a boy I lived in the country
De abuelos casi italianos Of almost Italian grandparents
Primas y primos de nueve hermanos Cousins ​​and first cousins ​​of nine siblings
Vacas, perros y caballos Cows, dogs and horses
Y de los campos vecinos venían And from the neighboring fields they came
Con sus familias a visitarnos With their families to visit us
Dos veces al año se hacían carneadas Twice a year they were slaughtered
Y de a cinco chanchos mataban And five pigs killed
Cómo gritaban los pobres colgados How the poor hanged cried
Era la comida del año It was the food of the year
Un acordeonista y un baterista An accordionist and a drummer
Pasodoble, tarantela, ranchera y vals Pasodoble, tarantella, ranchera and waltz
Ay, ay, cómo se armaba Oh, oh, how was he armed?
Tanta fiesta en un fin de semana So many parties in one weekend
Ay, ay, cómo se mezclaban Oh, oh, how they mixed
Tías, primas, hijos, hermanos y cuñadas Aunts, cousins, children, brothers and sisters-in-law
Asado y vino, cartas y tabas Asado and wine, cards and tabas
Y de día la luz del sol And by day the sunlight
Panes al horno a las seis de la tarde Baked bread at six in the evening
Y después a la luz del farol And then in the light of the lantern
Cuando venía la noche era más lindo When the night came it was prettier
Por lo que aguardaba la oscuridad For what the dark awaited
Ay, ay cómo se armaba Oh, oh how he was armed
Tanta fiesta en un fin de semana So many parties in one weekend
Ay, ay cómo se mezclaban Oh, oh how they mixed
Tías, primas, hijos, hermanos y cuñadas Aunts, cousins, children, brothers and sisters-in-law
Cuatro olivos, veinte mandarinos Four olive trees, twenty mandarins
Tres palmeras, paraísos y eucaliptus Three palm trees, paradises and eucalyptus
Trigales altos, maizales y alfalfa Tall wheat fields, cornfields and alfalfa
Siempre se buscaba a alguien que no estaba You were always looking for someone who wasn't there
La bagna cauda y canzonetas italianas Bagna cauda and Italian canzonetas
A tres voces altas, medias y bajas In three high, medium and low voices
Ay, ay cómo se armaba Oh, oh how he was armed
Tanta fiesta en un fin de semana So many parties in one weekend
Ay, ay cómo se mezclaban Oh, oh how they mixed
Tías, primas, hijos, hermanos y cuñadas Aunts, cousins, children, brothers and sisters-in-law
Cómo extraño esa vida del campo How I miss that country life
Y a una prima que la llevo acá…And a cousin who took her here...
