Lyrics of Juan Pachanga - Rubén Blades

Juan Pachanga (original)

Son las cinco de la maana y ya amanece
Juan Pachanga bien vestido aparece
Todos en el barrio estan descansando
Y Juan Pachanga en silencio va pensando.
Que aunque su vida de fiesta y ron, noche y rumba
Su plan es falso igual que aquel amor que lo engano
Y la luz del sol se ve alumbrando
Y Juan Pachanga el mamito va penando.
Vestido a la ultima moda y perfumado
Con zapato en colores yeye, bien lustrados
Los que encuentren en su camino los saludan, hey man
Que feliz es Juan Pachanga todos juran.
Pero llevar el alma el dolor de una traicion
Que solo calman los tragos, los tabacos y el tambor
Y mientras la gente duermen aparece
Juan Pachanga con su pena y amence.
Coro:
Oyeme Juan Pachanga olvidala
Amanece con la pena.
No no no no no no te quiere la morena
Mira que esta amaneciendo
El amor amor amor esta muriendo
Olvidala que olviddala…
Ay despierta y botala
Porque nunca te ha querido
Dale tambien olvido
Dejale tu a la mentira
Que el amor no se mendiga.

(translation)

It's five in the morning and it's already dawn
Juan Pachanga well dressed appears
Everyone in the neighborhood is resting
And Juan Pachanga silently thinks.
That although his life of party and rum, night and rumba
His plan for him is false just like that love that deceived him
And the sunlight is seen shining
And Juan Pachanga the mommy is suffering.
Dressed in the latest fashion and scented
With shoe in colors he yeye, well polished
Those who find their way greet them, hey man
How happy Juan Pachanga is, everyone swears.
But carry the soul the pain of a betrayal
That only drinks, tobacco and drums calm down
And while people sleep it appears
Juan Pachanga with his sorrow for him and amence.
Chorus:
Listen to me Juan Pachanga forget her
He wakes up with sorrow.
No no no no no the brunette doesn't love you
Look what is dawning
love love love is dying
Forget her forget her...
Oh wake up and throw it away
Because she has never loved you
Give me forget too
leave your lie
That love is not begging.
