It’s time for an upbeat song!

Feeling a little down-in-the-dumps lately to be honest, considering my little one-month break from Spanish songs translated, and all. Yeah yeah, I know. It’s on me.

But still! We all need fun, uplifting songs from time to time. Or maybe every morning. Or just to survive. Whatever.

This is a beautiful song by Monsieur Periné and Pedro Capó. The kind of song with a cute video, and makes you shrug your shoulders up and down in your seat, and sway your head to the tunes of the guitar.

Mundo paralelo – parallel world. Let’s go!

Lyrics

Tengo un perro viejo que no tiene raza
I have an old dog who does not have a breed
Me persigue en la calle hasta mi casa
He chased me in the street till my house
Aquí se quedó
Here he stayed
y estamos los dos saltando en una pata
And we were both jumping on one leg

Tengo un jardín pequeño que florece
I have a small garden that blooms
Y me da para fumar cada seis meses
And I get to smoke every six months
Yo no pido más
I don’t ask for more
Es la vida que uno se merece
It is the life that one deserves

La cosa sencilla
The simple thing
Ver cómo el sol brilla
To see how the sun shines
Correr sin zapatos
To run without shoes
Bañarme en la orilla
To bath in the shore
Bailar bajo la lluvia
To dance in the rain
Y el viento que me arrulla
And the wind that lulls me
Para qué otra boca si ya tengo la tuya?
Why to have another mouth if I already have yours?

Tengo poco
I have little
Pero tengo todo
But I have everything
Lo que necesito
That I need
Para darme cariñito
To give me love
Tengo poco
I have little
En este mundo loco
In this crazy world
Y aunque sea poquito
And although it is little
Mi mundo es bonito
My world is beautiful

Yo vengo de la sucursal del cielo
I come from the branch of heaven
Aquí lo que se cae lo paramos del suelo
Here we stop whatever falls from the ground
Lo material es lo segundo
The material is secondary
El amor es lo primero
Love comes first

Aquí la realidad parece un sueño
Here the reality seems like a dream
Aquí no hay reyes ni tampoco dueños
Here there are no kings nor owners
Se cultiva el campo con canciones
One cultivates their field with songs
Para alimentar los corazones
In order to feed the hearts

La cosa sencilla
The simple thing
Ver cómo el sol brilla
To see how the sun shines
Correr sin zapatos
To run without shoes
Bañarme en la orilla
To bath in the shore
Bailar bajo la lluvia
To dance in the rain
Y el viento que me arrulla
And the wind that lulls me
Para qué otra boca si ya tengo la tuya?

Para darme cariñito
To give me love
Tengo poco

En este mundo loco

Y aunque sea poquito

No busco nada, ya lo encontré
I look for nothing, I already found it
Una sonrisa y una taza de café
A smile and a cup of coffee
Para ser feliz no me hace falta dinero
To be happy I don’t need money
Con poquitito puedo hacer lo que quiero
With the little I can do what I want
Tengo todo
I have everything
Lo que necesito
That I need
Si es a tu ladito
If it is by your side
¡Ya lo encontré! ¡Ya lo encontré!
I found it! I found it!

Y no me saque de la onda que tengo
And don’t get me out of the wave I have] X3
Mi mundo es bello, mi mundo es bello
My world is beautiful, My world is beautiful
Y no me saque de la onda que tengo
And don’t get me out of the wave I have
