El Regreso Del Condor
Diomedes Díaz
The Return of the Condor
Oh, vallenato sings, vallenato cries
For example now, sing to your friends
I see them pleased over there
And they smile and look over here
I see them pleased over there
And they smile and look over here
But they don't know that my songs
Sometimes cry when I sing them
If vallenato were canonized
It would bring joy to the world
Because singing my songs
Even the saints dress up for a party
Because singing my songs
Even the saints dress up for a party
Oh, the woman who lives with a partygoer
Listen to my advice, I congratulate her
That one arrives after a few drinks
And finds his wife full of life
That one knocks on the door and immediately
They open the door to the king of the family
Because it's nice for the woman
To receive the man in that way
And so she lives happily all the time
And I bet the husband doesn't leave her
If one finds her turned into a lioness
He has to go back to the street
If one finds his lady angry
He has to go back to the street
The wounded condor didn't leave in the end
The Virgin of Carmen made him return
So that Carrizal is not left alone
My children, my mom with my siblings
And the condor that told me crying
I don't see the reason why you're leaving
And the condor that told me crying
I don't see the reason why you're leaving
The woman lives alone in the house
The man goes out and comes home late
That's why there are problems in homes
But the woman is right
Because if she were the one arriving late
There would be no respect or love
Because if she were the one arriving late
There would be no respect or love
