Por el camino del sitio mío
Un carretero alegre pasó
Con sus canciones que muy sentida
Y muy guajira alegre cantó
Me voy al transbordador (bam, bam)
A descargar la carreta (bam, bam)
Me voy al transbordador (bam, bam)
A descargar la carreta (bam, bam)
Para cumplir con la meta (bam, bam)
De mi pequeña labor
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
Yo trabajo sin reposo (bam, bam)
Para poderme casar (bam, bam)
Que yo trabajo sin reposo (bam, bam)
Para poderme casar (bam, bam)
Y si lo llego a lograr (bam, bam)
Seré un guajiro dichoso
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
Yo soy guajiro y carretero (bam, bam)
Y en el campo vivo bien (bam, bam)
Que soy guajiro y carretero (bam, bam)
Y en el campo vivo bien (bam, bam)
Porque el campo es el edén (bam, bam)
Más lindo del mundo entero
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
A caballo vamos pa'l monte
Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano
Recoge el fruto de tu sudor
Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano
Recoge el fruto de tu sudor

Along the path to my place
A cheerful cart driver passed by
With his songs, so heartfelt
And very guajira, he sang with joy
I'm going to the ferry (bam, bam)
To unload the cart (bam, bam)
I'm going to the ferry (bam, bam)
To unload the cart (bam, bam)
To fulfill the goal (bam, bam)
Of my small task
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
I work without rest (bam, bam)
So I can get married (bam, bam)
Yes, I work without rest (bam, bam)
So I can get married (bam, bam)
And if I manage to do it (bam, bam)
I'll be a happy guajiro
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
I'm a guajiro and a cart driver (bam, bam)
And I live well in the countryside (bam, bam)
I'm a guajiro and a cart driver (bam, bam)
And I live well in the countryside (bam, bam)
Because the countryside is Eden (bam, bam)
The most beautiful in the whole world
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
On horseback we go to the mountain
Clear the brush, cultivate the plain
Gather the fruit of your sweat
Clear the brush, cultivate the plain
Gather the fruit of your sweat

De Camino a la Vereda
by Original Broadway Cast of Buena Vista Social Club


[ Featuring Renesito Avich, Julio Monge, Buena Vista Social Club Original Broadway Band ]

!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Usted por enamorado
Tan viejo y con poco brillo
Usted por enamorado
Tan viejo y con poco brillo
El pollo que tiene al lado
Le ha hecho perder el trillo
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Ay, pero yo como soy tan sencillo
Pongo en claro esta trovada
Yo como soy tan sencillo
Pongo en claro esta trovada
Compay, yo no dejo el trillo
Para meterme en cañada
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Ay, pero estabamo' comentando
Por qué ha abandonado a Andrea
Estabamo' comentando
Por que ha abandonado a Andrea
Compadre uste' 'ta cambiando
De camino por vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Pero óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Pero mire compadrito, uste' ha dejao' a la
Pobre Geraldina para meterse con Dorotea
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
No hables de tu marido, mujer
Mujer de malos sentimientos
Todo se te ha vuelto un cuento
Porque no ha llegado la hora fatal
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Ay pero óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Ay ay ay ay, canta y no llore' Eliade'
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Porque cantando se alegran, cielito mio los corazones
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
No hables de tu marido, mujer
Mujer de malos sentimientos
Todo se te ha vuelto un cuento
Porque no ha llegado la hora fatal
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Ay, húyanle, húyanle, húyanle al mayoral
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Pero ahora ese señor está en el paso y no me deja pasar
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda
Calamán, calamán, calamán con chevere
Camina como chévere ha matao su madre, mama
!Óigame compay! No deje camino por coger la vereda

Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
You, just because you're in love
So old and already fading
You, just because you're in love
So old and already fading
That young girl by your side
Has made you lose your way
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Oh, but since I'm such a simple man
I'll make this verse clear
Since I'm such a simple man
I'll make this verse clear
Compay, I won't leave the path
To get lost in the brush
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Oh, but we were just talking
About why you left Andrea
We were just talking
About why you left Andrea
Compadre, you are changing
From the road to the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
But listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
But look, compadrito, you left
Poor Geraldina to get with Dorotea
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Don't speak of your husband, woman
Woman with bad intentions
Everything's turned into a tale
Because the fatal hour hasn't come yet
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Oh but listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Ay ay ay ay, sing and don't cry, Eliade
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Because singing brings joy, my love, to the heart
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Don't speak of your husband, woman
Woman with bad intentions
Everything's turned into a tale
Because the fatal hour hasn't come yet
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Oh, run from him, run from him, run from the overseer
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
But now that man is in the way and won't let me pass
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail
Calamán, calamán, calamán with chévere
He walks like chévere killed his own mother, mama
Listen to me, compay! Don't leave the road to take the trail

Veinte Años
by Original Broadway Cast of Buena Vista Social Club


[ Featuring Julio Monge, Natalie Venetia Belcon ]

¿Qué te importa que te ame
Si tú no me quieres ya?
El amor que ya ha pasado
No se debe recordar
Fui la ilusión de tu vida
Un día lejano ya
Hoy represento al pasado
No me puedo conformar
Hoy represento al pasado
No me puedo conformar
Si las cosas que uno quiere
Se pudieran alcanzar
Tú me quisieras lo mismo
Que veinte años atrás
Con qué tristeza miramos
Un amor que se nos va
Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad
Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad
Si las cosas que uno quiere
Se pudieran alcanzar
Tú me quisieras lo mismo
Que veinte años atrás
Con qué tristeza miramos
Un amor que se nos va
Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad
Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad

What does it matter to you that I love you
If you don't love me anymore?
A love that has already passed
Should not be remembered
I was the illusion of your life
A long time ago now
Today I represent the past
I can't resign myself
Today I represent the past
I can't resign myself
If the things one wants
Could be reached
You would love me the same
As twenty years ago
With such sadness we watch
A love that slips away
It's a piece of the soul
That's torn out without mercy
It's a piece of the soul
That's torn out without mercy
If the things one wants
Could be reached
You would love me the same
As twenty years ago
With such sadness we watch
A love that slips away
It's a piece of the soul
That's torn out without mercy

That's torn out without mercy

I am Carabalí
Black from the nation
Without freedom
I cannot live
The white man ends me
With my heart
So much mistreatment
My body suffers, eh
The white man floats on high
Always mocking
No matter how much
I resist him
He always mistreats me
I used to be
With trembling lips
And I scream Bruca Maniguá
Open the gate, brave one
Bruca Maniguá, hey
If I remember, I cry, I cry
Bruca Maniguá, hey
One step, one step

Now I rise as a warrior

Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aehAy, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aeh

"Buenas noches, compañero", siempre dijo así al timbal
"Para el chivo he de tocar, para descansar un poco"
Salió el ratón medio loco: "También voy a descansar"
Y el gato en su buen bailar, bailaba un danzón liviano
El ratón se subió al guano, y dice biеn placentero:
"Y ahora si quierеn bailar, búsquense otro timbalero"

Ay, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, aehAy, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, aeh
A hutía threw a dance for a big celebration
A mouse played the timbales, bringing joy to the countryside one day
A cat also showed up, elegant and carefree
"Good evening, my friend," he always said to the drummer
"I'll play for the goat, just to rest a bit"
The mouse went a little crazy: "I'm going to rest too"
And the cat, dancing so well, danced a light danzón
The mouse climbed up the guano tree and said quite contentedly:
"And now if you want to dance, go find another drummer"

Dos gardenias para ti

Te quiero... te adoro... mi... vida...

Que tendrán todo el calor... de un beso
De esos besos que te di y que jamás encontrará
En el calor de otro querer
A tu lado vivirán... y se hablarán
Como cuando estás conmigo
Y hasta creerá... que se dirán
"Te quiero..."
Pero si un atardecer
Las gardenias de mi amor... se mueren
Es porque han adivinado
Que tu amor me ha traicionado
Porque existe otro querer
A tu lado vivirán... y se hablarán
Colo cuando estás conmigo
Y hasta creerá... que se dirán
"Te quiero..."
Pero si un atardecer
Las gardenias de mi amor... se mueren

In the warmth of another love
By your side they will live... and they will talk
Like when you are with me
And they will even believe... that they say to each other
"I love you..."
But if one afternoon
The gardenias of my love... die
It's because they have guessed
That your love has betrayed me
Because there is another love

Allá fueron los bomberos con sus campanas, sus sirenas
Allí fueron los bomberos con sus campanas, sus sirenas
¡Ay, mamá! ¿Qué pasó?
¡Ay, mamá! ¿Qué pasó?
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vel
¡Que llamen a Ibrahim Ferrer, que busquen a los bomberos!
Que yo creo que Tula lo que quiere señor es que le apaguen el fuego
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
Ay, por ahí viene Eliades, en tremenda corredera
Viene a observar el cuarto de Tula que ha cogido candela
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
Carlos y Marcos están mirando este fuego
Si ahora no se apaga, se apaga luego, candela
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
Puntillita, ve y busca a Marco', pa' que busque al Sierra Maestra
Que vengan para acá rapido que la Tula, mira cogió candela
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
Hey, Marcos, coge pronto el cubito y no te quedes allá fuera
Llénalo de agua y ven a apagar el cuarto de Tula, que ha cogido candela
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
Tula está encendida ¡Llama a los bomberos!
Tú eres candela ¡Afina los cueros!
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
Dicho Candela, muchacho
Se volvió loco, Barbarito, ¡Hay que ingresarlo!
El cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela

Call Ibrahim Ferrer, go get the firefighters!
Because I think what Tula really wants, sir, is someone to put out her fire

She fell asleep and didn't put out the candle
Hey, here comes Eliades in a huge commotion
Coming to check on Tula's room that caught on fire

Carlos and Marcos are watching this fire
If it doesn't get put out now, it'll get put out later - fire!

She fell asleep and didn't put out the candle
Puntillita, go and get Marcos so he can find Sierra Maestra
Tell them to come quick, Tula's room is on fire

Hey, Marcos, grab the bucket quickly and don't just stand there
Fill it with water and come put out Tula's room - it caught on fire
Tula's on fire! Call the firefighters!
You're fire! Tighten those drums!
Tula's room caught on fire
She fell asleep and didn't put out the candle
He said "Fire," man
Barbarito went crazy - we've got to admit him!
"He said 'fire', boy
He went crazy, Barbarito - we need to have him committed!"
Tula's room caught on fire
She fell asleep and didn't put out the candle

Duermen en mi jardín
Las blancas azucenas, los nardos y las rosas
Mi alma, muy triste y pesarosa
A las flores quiere ocultar su amargo dolor
Yo no quiero que las flores sepan
Los tormentos que me da la vida
Si supieran lo que estoy sufriendo
Por mis penas llorarían también

No quiero que sepan mis penas
Porque si me ven llorando, morirán

They would weep for my sorrows too
Silence, for they are sleeping
The tuberoses and the lilies
I don't want them to know my sorrows

[Spoken intro]
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemo aé.
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemo aé.
Puso un baile un jutía, para una gran diversión.
De timbalero un ratón, que alegraba el
Campo un día.
Un gato también venía, elegante y placentero,
'Buenas noches, compañero'
Siempre dijo así el timbal
'Para alguien aquí poder tocar,
Para descansar un poco'.
Salió el ratón medio loco,
'también voy a descansar'.
Y el gato en su buen bailar, bailaba un
Danzón liviano.
El ratón se subió al guano, y dice
Bien placentero:
¡Y ahora si quieren bailar, búsquense
Otro timbalero!
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemó aé.
Oye, Faustino Orama' y sus compañeros,
Necesito que me apaguen el fuego.
Margarita llama pronto a los bomberos para
Que vengan a apagar el fuego.
Oye, si estás perdida llama a los siete ceros,
Y asi vendrán más pronto los bomberos.
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemo aé,
Mama ¡Aaaay!
Tilán tilán
Didilán didilán
Margarita que me quemo
Yo quiero seguir gozando
La candelame está llevando
Me gusta seguir guarachando
Esta tarde venimo' acabando
Como quiera venimo' tocando
La mujer cuando se agacha
Se le abre el entendimiento
La mujer cuando se agacha
Se le abre el entendimiento
Y el hombre cuando la mira
Se le para el pensamiento
De tí me gusta una cosa
Sin que me cueste trabajo
De tí me gusta una cosa
Sin que me cueste trabajo
De la barriga pa'rriba, de la cintura pa'bajo
Mira se quema, se quema, mama
Mira se quema, se quema, oye
Mira mama que me quemo
Mira llama pronto a los bomberos, para que
Vengan a apagar el fuego
Mira que el fuego me está quemando
Y yo quiero seguir guarachando
Mira se quema Báyamo, mira que Songo
Está que arde
Mira se quema La Maya, mira ese pito
Que suena.
Malaguën está que corta mama
Santiago de Cuba está que te mete en llamas
Se quema, se quema, se quema, oye, mira
Me quemo, me quemo.
Mira que me quemo, oye, yo quiero
Seguir guarachando.
Mira mama que yo vengo quemando.
Faustino Orama' tú está acabando
Mira se quema, se quema
Pero mira mi mami se quema
Oye se quema, se quema

[Spoken intro]
Ay, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, hey
Ay, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, hey
A hutía threw a dance, for a grand celebration
A rat played the timbales, who brightened the countryside one day
A cat also came along, elegant and delightful
"Good evening, comrade,"
He always said that to the timbale player
"To play for someone here,
To rest a little."
The rat ran out half-crazy,
"I'm going to rest too."
And the cat, dancing so well, danced
A light danzón
The rat climbed the guano, and said
Quite pleased:
"And now if you want to dance,
Go find another timbalero!"
Ay, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, hey
Hey, Faustino Oramas and his companions,
I need you to put out the fire
Margarita, call the firefighters quick
So they can come and put out the fire
Hey, if you're lost, call the seven zeros
So the firefighters will come faster
Ay, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, hey
Mama, aaaay!
Tilán, tilán
Didilán, didilán
Margarita, I'm burning
I want to keep on enjoying
The fire's taking me
I love to keep on guarachando
This evening we're tearing it up
Either way, we keep on playing
When a woman bends down
Her understanding opens up
When a woman bends down
Her understanding opens up
And when a man sees her
His thoughts stand at attention
What I like about you
Doesn't even take effort
What I like about you
Doesn't even take effort
From the belly up, from the waist down
Look, it's burning, it's burning, mama
Look, it's burning, it's burning, hey
Look mama, I'm burning
Call the firefighters fast
So they can come and put out the fire
Look, the fire is burning me
And I want to keep guarachando
Look, Bayamo is burning, and Songo
Is on fire
Look, La Maya is burning, and that whistle
Is blowing
Malaquén is cutting deep, mama
Santiago de Cuba is flaming hot
It's burning, it's burning, it's burning- hey look!
I'm burning, I'm burning
Look, I'm burning- hey! I just want
To keep guarachando
Look, mama, I'm coming in hot
Faustino Oramas, you're tearing it up
Look, it's burning, it's burning
But look- my girl, she's burning
Hey, it's burning, it's burning

[Spoken intro]

Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemo aé.
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemo aé.
Puso un baile un jutía, para una gran diversión.
De timbalero un ratón, que alegraba el
Campo un día.
Un gato también venía, elegante y placentero,
'Buenas noches, compañero'
Siempre dijo así el timbal
'Para alguien aquí poder tocar,
Para descansar un poco'.
Salió el ratón medio loco,
'también voy a descansar'.
Y el gato en su buen bailar, bailaba un
Danzón liviano.
El ratón se subió al guano, y dice
Bien placentero:
¡Y ahora si quieren bailar, búsquense
Otro timbalero!
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemó aé.
Oye, Faustino Orama' y sus compañeros,
Necesito que me apaguen el fuego.
Margarita llama pronto a los bomberos para
Que vengan a apagar el fuego.
Oye, si estás perdida llama a los siete ceros,
Y asi vendrán más pronto los bomberos.
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemo aé,
Mama ¡Aaaay!
Tilán tilán
Didilán didilán

Yo quiero seguir gozando
La candelame está llevando
Me gusta seguir guarachando
