| Mariela by Julián Rodriguez |
En Colombia cuando viene gente de otros paises para que conozcan el folclor colombiano lo llevan a oír mariachis* , esto es una ranchera** que se entitula Mariela. |
When people from foreign countries come to Colombia, we let them listen to Mariachis, so that they can hear Colombian folk. This is a Ranchera called Mariela. |
* Typical Mexican band, but also a certain type of Music, which is played mostly in Mexico
** One of the styles of Mariachi is Ranchera
Also this is a corruption of the original. People play music to tourists as typical Colombian folk, which is actually Mexican. The song is a parody to the a.m. music style. Still, it seems there is no easy solution for this "compañero con el revolver".
MARIELA
Mariela
Estaba solo en la cocina
tenia mi vida hecha una ruina
Después de tanto querernos tanto
desapareces como un espanto
No me den trago que yo no bebo
deme una taza de aguapanela
tenia mi vida hecha una ruina
Después de tanto querernos tanto
desapareces como un espanto
No me den trago que yo no bebo
deme una taza de aguapanela
I was alone in the kitchen
my life in ruins
After we had loved each other so much
you left like a ghost
Don't give me to drink, because I drink
give a cup with sugar cane juice
my life in ruins
After we had loved each other so much
you left like a ghost
Don't give me to drink, because I drink
give a cup with sugar cane juice
