Basta Ya (original)Basta Ya (translation)
Al vaivén de mi carreta To the swing of my cart
Nació esta Iamentación This lamentation was born
Compadre ponga atención mate pay attention
Que aquí empieza mi cuarteta That here begins my quartet
Cuando llegaré when will i arrive
Cuando llegaré al bohío When will I arrive at the bohío
Se acerca la madrugada dawn is approaching
Los gallos están cantando the roosters are crowing
Compadre están anunciando compadre are announcing
Que se acerca la jornada that the day is approaching
Triste vida la del carretero Sad life of the carter
Que anda por esos cañaverales What walks through those cane fields
Sabiendo que su vida es un destierro Knowing that his life is an exile
Se alegra con sus cantares He rejoices with his songs
Trabajo para el inglés work for english
Trabajo de carretero carter's job
Sudando por un dinero sweating for money
Que en la mano no se ve That in the hand is not seen
¡Basta ya, basta ya Enough is enough, enough is enough
Que el yanqui mande! May the yankee rule!
El yanqui vive en palacio The yankee lives in a palace
Yo vivo en un barracón I live in a barracks
¿cómo es posible que el yanqui how is it possible that the yankee
Viva mejor que yo? Live better than me?
¿Qué pasa con mis hermanos what about my brothers
De México y Panamá? From Mexico and Panama?
Sus padres fueron esclavos His parents were slaves
Sus hijos no lo seránYour children will not be
