The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Baguala De Juan Poquito" by Maria Elena Walsh.
Lyrics
Me parece que hay un Grillo
en la noche tucumana
que no canta con el pico
pero llora con las alas.
Juan Poquito se lamenta
que su novia la Chicharra
de repente y sin aviso
se le ha ido para Salta.
Yo lo escucho,
Juan Poquito
canta mucho.
La Chicharra se le ha ido
pero no por ser ingrata,
se le fue porque tenía
su casita en una chala.
Hace nada más que un rato
al pasar un tren de carga
se llevó todos los choclos
con casita y con Chicharra.
La Chicharra está llorando
locamente achicharrada
cuando escucha a Juan Poquito
que tristísimo la llama.
Se casaron enseguida
Juan Poquito y la Chicharra,
a la vuelta de un carozo
entre Tucumán y Salta.
(Gracias a je por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
I think there's a cricket.
on the Tucuman night
that does not sing with the beak
but she cries with her wings.
Juan Poquito laments
that his girlfriend The Pimp
suddenly and without warning
he's gone for Salta.
I hear it,
Juan Poquito
he sings a lot.
The Chicharra is gone
but not for being ungrateful,
he left because he had
his little house in a shawl.
It's been a while.
when passing a freight train
he took all the corn.
with casita and with Chicharra.
The Chicharra is crying
madly squishy
when you listen to Juan Pochito
how sad it is.
They got married right away
Juan Poquito and La Chicharra,
around a lump
between Tucuman and Salta.
