La Gota Fría
Emiliano Zuleta
Interprete: Carlos Vives
Disco: Clásicos De La Provincia
El autor de esta famosa canción, Emiliano Zuleta, parece tener un pleito con otro músico, un tal Lorenzo Morales. El esta canción, Emiliano le dice algunas cosas no muy agradables a Lorenzo. Tengo entendido que Lorenzo le contestó en su día con otra canción. | Acordate Moralito de aquel día que estuviste en Urumita y no quisiste hacer parranda. Te fuiste de mañanita. Sería de la misma rabia (bis) En mis notas soy extenso. A mí nadie me corrige. (bis) Para tocar con Lorenzo mañana sábado, día de la Virgen (bis) * Me lleva él o me lo llevo yo pa' que se acabe la vaina (bis) ¡Ay! Morales a mí no me lleva porque no me da la gana Moralito a mí no me lleva porque no me da la gana. ¿Qué cultura, qué cultura va a tener un indio chumeca como Lorenzo Morales? ¿qué cultura va a tener, si nació en los cardonales? (bis) Morales mienta a mi mama solamente pa' ofender. (bis) Para que él también se ofenda, ahora le miento a la de él. (bis) Me lleva él o me lo llevo yo … Moralito, Moralito se creía que él a mí, que él a mí me iba a ganar, pero cuando me oyo tocar le cayó la gota fría, (bis) Al cabo él la compartía y el tiro le salió mal. (bis) Me lleva él o me lo llevo yo … |
Moralito, remember that day
When you were in Uramita and did not want to come to the party? You left early in the morning Was it because of that grugde from long ago?
When I play the accordion, my notes
are extensive And nobody needs to correct me To play with him at the feast Saturday morning On the day of Virgin Mary, Either he'll defeat me, or I'll defeat him there Finishing that argument once and for all
Ay, Morales does not defeat me
Because I don't feel like giving in Moralito does not defeat me Because I don't feel like giving inWhat good manners would a chumeca indianlike Lorenzo Morales have?What good manners would he haveSince he was raised amidst fields of cardón cacti?
Moralito tells my mom lies about me
Just to upset me And now, just to upset him I'll tell his lies about him
Moralito was sure that
He would beat me But when he heard me playing He sweated cold for fear In the end, he agreed he had lost And his ambitions just backfired |

THANK YOU! I was looking for the translations... which turned out to be even awesomer than I expected.
what nostalgia of my youth in Venezuela. I come alive as the music courses my veins
Memories of 15 years ago, sailing with a greek merchant ship in, South America.
Thanks.
This played constantly as
I was building 3 houses on isla margarita
