Carlos Vives - Carito
Pensaba yo en estos tiempos
de incompresiones y desencantos
y en tantas buenas razones
para soar sin desfallecer
y pensaba con nostalgia
en la inocencia de aquellos aos
de esos primeros amores
que al recordar vuelven a nacer
y recuerdo en mi memoria
aquellos tiempos de Carito
ella era una miss de Boston
que daba clase en la escuela
le gustaba el espaol
y aunque lo hablaba poquito
tena esos ojos bonitos
que hablaban muy bien por ella
CORO:
Carito me habla en ingls
que bonito se le ve
Carito me habla en ingls
que me dice yo no se (bis)
Carlitos dont be like that
now listen to me
you will pay attention
I need you to write in english
muy perfecto parragraph
and tell me where did you learn
donde tu aprender to be tan coqueto
remeber nada de futbol
until you finish the work you haveCarlos Vives - Carito - http://motolyrics.com/carlos-vives/carito-lyrics-english-translation.html
y me daba una sonrisa
y yo quedaba loquito
y despues en el examen
lo pona todo al reves
Carito se fue del valle
yo la recuerdo cantando
porque me dejo muy triste
para su tierra se fue
CORO
Te llevara para mi tierra
Carito dime que si
que no me quiero morir
Carito dont tell me no
que me muero por tu amor (bis)
que importa la raza
tampoco el idioma
si al fin lo que cuenta
es lo buena persona
si es del altiplano
o de tierra caliente
si al fin lo que vale
es que sea buena gente
que importa su credo
si es hombre de influyente
si al fin lo que cuenta
es la gente decente
no importa si es blanco
si es pobre o famoso
si al fin lo que vale
es que cante sabroso
Carlos Vives - Carito (English translation)
Primer verso First verse
I was thinking of those times
of incomprehensions and disillusionments
and of so many good reasons
to dream without fainting
And I was thinking with nostalgia
of the innocence of those years;
of those first loves
that when remembered, are born again.
And I remember in my memory
those times of Carito
she was a "miss" from Boston
that gave class at the school
She liked Spanish
and although she speaked little
she had those pretty eyes
that talked very well for her
Chorus
Carito talks to me in English
How pretty it looks on her
Carito talks to me in English
What she says to me, I don't know
Second verse
Carlitos don't be like that
Now listen to me
You will pay attention
I need you to write in English
very perfect (sp) paragraph (eng)
and tell me where did you learn
where did you learn
to be (eng) so flirty (sp)
remember, (eng) no soccer (sp)Carlos Vives - Carito - http://motolyrics.com/carlos-vives/carito-lyrics-english-translation.html
until you finish that work you have
and she would give me a smile
and i would remain crazy
and afterwards, on the exam
I put everything backwards
Carito left the valley
I remember her singing
Because she left me very sad
She left for her land
Chorus
Third verse
Carito, tell me why
because I don't want to die
Carito don't tell me no
Because I die for your love
What importance is race
or language?
if at the end, what counts
is the good of the person.
if they're from a high plateau
or from hot land (literal translation)
if at the end what matters
is that they are a good person
What importance is their belief?
or if they're an influent man
if at the end what counts
is the decency of the person?
It's not important if they're white
or if they're poor and famous
if at the end what matters
is that they sing with taste.
