Ligia Elena(original) |
Ligia Elena, la cándida niña de la sociedad, |
se ha fugado con un trompetista de la vecindad. |
El padre la busca afanosamente, lo está comentando toda la gente, |
y la madre pregunta angustiada: en dónde estará? |
De nada sirvieron regaños, ni viajes, ni monjas, |
ni las promesas de amor que le hicieran los niños de bien; |
fue tan buena la nota que dio aquel humilde trompeta |
que, entre acordes de cariño eterno, se fué ella con él. |
Se han mudado a un cuarto chiquito con muy pocos muebles, |
y allí viven contentos y llenos de felicidad. |
Mientras tristes, los padres, preguntan: «¿En donde fallamos?» |
Ligia Elena con su trompetista amándose están. |
Dulcemente se escurren los días en aquel cuartito, |
mientras que en las mansiones lujosas de la sociedad, |
otras niñas que saben del cuento, al dormir, se preguntan: |
«¿Ay señor!, y mi trompetista cuándo llegará?» |
Otras niñas que saben del cuento, al dormir, se preguntan: |
«¿Ay señor!, y mi trompetista cuándo llegará?» |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está asfixi'á. |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
Se escapó con un trompeta de la vecindad'. |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
Se llevaron la niña del ojo 'el papá. |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
«¿En donde fallamos?», pregunta mamá. |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
Se a colado un binche en la blanca sociedad. |
Davi deo dodó, davi deoo dodó… |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
Pudo más el amor que el dinero., ¡señor! |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
¡Qué buena la nota que dio aquel trompeta! |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
Eso del racismo, broder, no está en ná'. |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
«¡Déjala que la agarre!», nos jura el papá. |
(Ligia Elena está contenta y su familia está a’fixi'á.) |
Ligia Elena está llena de felicidad. |
(«! Le voy a enseñar.¡, |
que yo la voy a agarrar! |
Yo la voy a agarrar! |
Horror¡,! |
Horror¡) |
Mire doña Gertrudis, |
le digo que estoy., |
pero es que, mire: |
A mi lo que más me., |
(mmmm…) |
a mí lo que más me., |
(mmmm…) |
a mí lo que más me… ¡choca! |
es que esa mal agradecida, |
yo pensaba que me iba a dar un nietecito con., |
los cabellos rubios, |
los ojos rubios, |
los dientes rubios, |
como Fry Donahew, |
y va y se marcha con ese., |
¡con ese tusa! |

(translation) |
Ligia Elena, the candid society girl, |
she has eloped with a neighborhood trumpeter. |
Her father is looking for her eagerly, all the people are commenting on it, |
and the mother asks in anguish: where is she? |
Scoldings were of no use, nor trips, nor nuns, |
nor the promises of love that good children made her; |
the note that she gave that humble trumpet was so good |
that, between chords of eternal affection, she left with him. |
They have moved into a small room with very little furniture, |
and there they live content and full of happiness. |
While sad, the parents ask: "Where did we fail?" |
Ligia Elena with her trumpeter of her loving each other. |
Sweetly the days slip away in that little room, |
while in the luxurious mansions of society, |
Other girls who know about the story, when sleeping, ask themselves: |
"Oh sir! And when will my trumpeter arrive?" |
Other girls who know about the story, when sleeping, ask themselves: |
"Oh sir! And when will my trumpeter arrive?" |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
Ligia Elena is happy and her family is suffocating. |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
She ran away with a trumpet from the neighborhood.' |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
They took the apple of the eye 'the dad. |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
"Where did we go wrong?" Mom asks. |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
A bug has crept into white society. |
Davi deo dodo, davi deoo dodo... |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
Love was stronger than money, sir! |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
How good the note that she gave that trumpet! |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
That racism thing, broder, is not in ná'. |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
“Let her grab it!” Dad swears to us. |
(Ligia Elena is happy and her family is a'fixi'á.) |
Ligia Elena is full of happiness. |
(«! I am going to teach him.¡, |
I'm going to catch her! |
I'm going to catch her! |
Horror,! |
Horror) |
Look Dona Gertrudis, |
I tell him that I am |
but, look: |
To me what most me., |
(MMM…) |
to me what most me., |
(MMM…) |
what most shocks me! |
is that ungrateful, |
I thought I was going to give myself a little grandson with., |
blonde hair, |
blonde eyes, |
blond teeth, |
as Fry Donahew, |
and he goes and leaves with that., |
with that tusa! |
