Fin De Semana




Weekend

1

Estoy contento, llego el fin de semana




Cuando la gente descansa del oficio




Unos se quedan a descansar en casa




Los otros se van a brindar con los amigos.

I am happy when the weekend arrives
When people rest from work
Some stay home to rest
Others go out with friends to toast.

2

Despues del yugo nos vamos de pachanga




En mi carcacha levanto a mi preciosa




Y desde el punto nos vamos para el ambiente




A la zarzuela y a bailar cumbia sabrosa

After work we go to the pachanga (party)
On my old car I pickup my precious girl
And from there we go where the people are
To the theater, and to dance cumbia sabrosa

3

Porque bailando, bailando la cumbia




Me fortalezco y me olvido de las penas




Y donde arribo, tamores y cumbia




Yo soy feliz bailando con mi morena

Because dancing and dancing the cumbia
Strengthens me and I forget my sorrows
And when I arrive, the sound of drums & cumbia
Im happy dancing with my morena

4

Y la rutina que igual nunca se acaba




Primero es el trabajo y despues es el guateque




En cada fiesta no puede faltar la cumbia




Y todo el mundo bailando se divierte.

And this routine that never ends,
First work, then there is the party
There is no party without the cumbia
And everybody enjoys dancing !

Repeat Verse 2 & Verse 3
