Lyrics
Pasé la noche enterita escribiendo una cartita
Para poderte, vidita, convencer
Frases bonitas que hablaban con ternura
De tu atrayente figura, tus encantos de mujer
Pero no pude terminar esta cartita
Para poderte, vidita, convencer;
Tantas cosas en ella te decía
Que al final ni yo entendía y la tuve que romper
¡Churrasca…
¡Mi churrasquita…
Entendé esta palabrita que te dice
Tantas cosas y abrí tu corazón
Pasé la noche enterita consultando diccionarios
Libritos, epistolarios y formularios de amor;
Pero en ninguno de esos libros con versitos
Encontré mi amor escrito con calor
No hubo un poeta que me diera un buen consejo
Por eso, derecho viejo, yo me haré entender mejor
¡Churrasca…
¡Mi churrasquita…
Entendé esta palabrita que te dice
Tantas cosas y abrí tu corazón
Lyrics translation
I spent the whole night writing a little card.
To convince you, vidita,
Beautiful phrases that spoke tenderly
Of your attractive figure, your feminine charms
But I couldn't finish this little card
To convince you, vidita,;
So many things about her I told you
That in the end I didn't even understand and I had to break it
Barbecue…
My barbecue…
I understand this little word he says to you
So many things and I opened your heart
I spent the whole night looking at dictionaries.
Booklets, epistolaries and forms of love;
But in none of those books with verses
I found my love written with warmth
There was no poet to give me good advice
That's why, old law, I'll make myself better understood
Barbecue…
My barbecue…
I understand this little word he says to you
So many things and I opened your heart
