Carlos Vives "Jaime Molina" lyrics

Translation to:en

Jaime Molina

(A dos amigos que se amaron con la almaAy hombre!)

Recuerdo que Jaime MolinaCuando estaba borracho ponía esta condición;

Que... si yo moría primero él me hacía un retratoO... si él se moría primero le sacaba un son (x2)

Ahora prefiero esta condición,Que él me hiciera el retrato y no sacarle el son. (x2)

Famosas fueron sus parrandasQue a ningún amigo dejaba dormir

Cuando estaba bebiendo, siempre me insultabaCon frases de cariño que él sabía decir (x2)

Después en las piernas se me sentaba,Me contaba un chiste y se ponía a reír.(x2)

(Ay compadre, si vieras como lo recuerda Rafa,eso lo llora)

La cosa comenzó muy niñoJaime Molina me enseñó a beber

Adonde quiera estaba, él estaba conmigoY donde quiera estaba, yo estaba con él (x2)

Ahora me duele que él se haya idoYo quedé sin Jaime y él sin Rafael. (x2)

((Un homenaje sencillo para los pintores y los artistasdel valleHay hombre)

Jaime Molina

(To two friends who loved each other with the soulOh Man!)

I remember that Jaime MolinaWhen he was drunk, would set this condition;

That...if I died first he would paint me a portraitOr...if he died first, I would write him a song(2Xs)

Now I prefer this condition.,That he paint me the portrait and I don't write him the song(2Xs)

Famous were his partiesThat he wouldn't let any of his friends sleep

When he was drinking, he would always insult meWith phrases of affection that he knew how to say(2Xs)

Afterwards he would sit on my lap,He would tell me a joke and start to laugh(2Xs)

(Oh friend, if you saw how Rafa remembers you,you would cry)

This thing started very youngJaime Molina taught me how to drink

Wherever I was, he was with meAnd wherever he was, I was with him (2Xs)

Now it hurts me that he's goneI'm without Jaime and he's without Rafael (2Xs)

(A sincere homage for all the painters and artistsof the valley,Oh, man)
