Lyrics
Ay yo vengo como ignorante,
Yo vengo como ignorante,
Como ignorante he venido
Si quieren verme contento,
Quiero ser bien recibido.
Ay dime Rami que comiste
-tambin para comer yo- (repite 3)
Ay yo com sancocho de pavo
-periquito con arroz- (bis)
Del cementerio pa' bajo,
Del cementerio pa' bajo
Hay una dura compaa
No deja salir los muertos
Ni de noche ni de da.
Cuando conoc a Omar Geles,
Cuando conoc a Omar Geles
Yo le dije con mi canto
Que iba a ser Rey Vallenato
Y compaero de Diomedes.
Al hombre del cabo de velas,
Al hombre del cabo de velas
Ah le dejo este mensaje
Todos los pjaros vuelan,
Pero no cantan igual.
Pa' que cante como yo,
Tiene que comece un pavo (bis)
Y Omar Geles me le d Periquito con arroz.
-Tambin para comer yo,
Periquito con arroz- (bis)
Lyrics translation
Oh I come as ignorant,
I come as ignorant,
As ignorant I have come
If you want to see me happy,
I want to be welcomed.
Ay tell me Rami what you ate
- also to eat me - (repeat 3)
Ay yo com sancocho de Turko
- parakeet with rice- (bis)
From the PA ' bajo cemetery,
From the PA ' bajo cemetery
There's a tough compaa
He doesn't let the dead out.
Not at night or da.
When I met Omar gels,
When I met Omar gels
I told him with my singing
That I was going to be King Vallenato
And compaero of Diomedes.
To the man at Cape velas,
To the man at Cape velas
Ah I leave you this message
All pjaros fly,
But they don't sing the same.
Pa ' let me sing like me,
You have to start a turkey (bis)
And Omar gels gave me parakeet with rice.
- Also for me to eat,
Parakeet with rice- (bis)
