Periquito Con Arroz
Diomedes Díaz
Parakeet with Rice
Oh, I come as an ignorant,
I come as an ignorant,
As an ignorant I have come
If they want to see me happy,
I want to be well received.
Oh tell me Rami what did you eat
- I also want to eat - (repeat 3)
Oh, I ate turkey stew
- parakeet with rice - (repeat)
From the cemetery down,
From the cemetery down
There is a tough company
It doesn't let the dead out
Neither at night nor during the day.
When I met Omar Geles,
When I met Omar Geles
I told him with my song
That I was going to be Vallenato King
And Diomedes' companion.
To the man with the candlestick,
To the man with the candlestick
I leave this message
All birds fly,
But they don't sing the same.
For him to sing like me,
He has to eat a turkey (repeat)
And Omar Geles has to give him
Parakeet with rice.
- I also want to eat
Parakeet with rice - (repeat)
