El Sifrino y El Veguero

Friendly harp with your rhythmic strings
Accompany me for a moment because I really want to
I'm going to invite a singer, that's what I mean
To the great Carlos Meléndez, known as the dandy

With great pleasure, my brother, I'll accompany you swiftly
How are you, Jorge Guerrero family, at your house
Since we are in Caracas, you can take off your hat
So the girls don't say look, there goes a cowboy

Now if my dear companion is wrong
Even if they shoot me, I won't take off my hat
With it I shield myself from the sun and if it rains
I look shaded with a rancher's face
The face I see in you is a great talker

Who wants to be a Buchanan but doesn't reach pampero
Instead, Carlos Meléndez, or rather the dandy
Has money and a girlfriend who drinks fine and I die
What money are you going to have, little singer, skin scraper
If like four days ago, they told me

That you slept in a hammock lent to you by a truck driver
And two waist belts that you use as hangers
Those who speak ill of me, they confused me
You know very well that I live abroad
That I have an apartment that costs a lot of money

When you want to visit me, go even though I'll be waiting for you there
This damn guy lies more than a cowboy movie
How are you going to live in the north with that cowboy face
Maybe on a farm they'll have you as a cowboy

Eating yucca, beans, and whey every day
That type of food, buddy, I can't digest
I eat pure veal broth salad
Prepared by a special chef they brought me

Who is living in Valencia, Roque Valero's sister
If you want to eat tasty, go to my place
Go to the town of Elorza, the land of the patrolman
To prepare a mixed dish of iguana and chicken

If you're very hungry, you'll eat even the pot
Maybe you didn't hear what I told you first
That type of food, buddy, I can't tolerate
And I'm not going to the plains because there's a plague there

And if a mosquito bites me, I might get a rash
Now if the fox climbed into the henhouse
What it provokes is to throw him headfirst into a pigsty
Or tie him shirtless on top of an anthill

To see if that takes away his monkey and show-off
Why do you get upset, dear sir
Accept an invitation that I reiterate now
To a concert of dandies who came from Spain

And despite where they're from, they die for a troubadour
I won't change my plains even if they tear off my skin
I'm not going to a party of pure rock rhythm
Where they wear pants wider than an ice cream man

And the bottoms fall near the manure
But they are all beautiful girls, prettier than a star
I can't attack them, I have my true love
I'm getting married soon to Maritza Sayalero

Right now, I sent a pin where it says I love you
The dandies are beautiful but you have to be persistent
Because in my opinion, they ask for more than a beggar
I prefer a little vegetable that sleeps in a mosquito net

Better to blow the hair to a cockroach nest
Make the attempt and see, then you'll call me a liar
When a dandy has you in her arms as a prisoner
I swear you'll have a pleasant moment

And if you get happier than a baby with a bottle
I leave that offer to a partying buddy
Gaetano Ferro in Barinas, an excellent gentleman
Who chases dandies like a donkey to the dust
And in his car, he doesn't lack a reggaeton CD
Tell him to call me at 80 00

To introduce him to some beauties who don't play around
But since I have to go, thanks to those who listened to me
Black Carlos Meléndez next to the great Guerrero
I also have to go, I'm heading to my path
I say goodbye to my people who give me sincere support
I have no reason to complain, thanks to God, missionary
We'll see each other another day, see you soon, dandy
Ok, Mayol, see you
