Ya no es Silverio, ya no es Facundo Si no es la luna ahora quien será Ahora es Sagüita que me tiene a mi prieta loca Pero loca, loca arrebata’ It’s not Silverio and it’s not Facundo, And if it’s not the moon who could it be? It’s Saguita who has my lady crazy, insane, out of her mind. Repite Ahora de noche se me va pa’ la pelota y yo de mentecato cuidando a los perros, espantando a los gatos y cuando me he dormido y entonces llega al cuarto y ya es de madruga’a esta hora, se pone la maldita, a contarme los tribeis, a contarme los jonrones y contando me nadita que si cogen a Sagüita que el chiqui, chiqui, chiqui que el cuchi cuchi cuchi y tengo que decirle Ta’bueno de Sagüita que barbaridad Every night she goes to games, and I am just a fool, left caring for the dogs and "shooing" away the cats, and once I fall asleep the dawn and she returns, she wakes me just to tell me about the hits, the strikes and runs. It’s all about Saguita, it is enough, it has to stop! Ta’ bueno ya, no me hables má’ de Sagüita, ya ya ya ya ya… ay salí de Guatemala y entre a Guatapeor pero salí de Guatemala y entre a Guatapero (Repite) I’ve had enough. Speak no more ‘bout Saguita, I won’t hear it anymore… I got outta Guatemala (one bad place) and ended up in Guatapeor (in a worse place). Que mujer má’ bandolera que no me deja descansar. (Repite) Me forma la pelotera y le tengo que gritar The woman is a bitch; she won’t let me get my rest. She makes a mess of things, and I yell from the distress. Ta’ bueno ya, ya, ya, no me hables má’ de Sagüita, ya ya ya ya ya… ay salí de Guatemala y entre a Guatapeor pero salí de Guatemala y entre a Guatapeor. I’ve had enough. Speak no more ‘bout Saguita, I won’t hear it anymore… I got outta Guatemala (one bad place) and ended up in Guatapeor. (in a worse place). Cuando se murió Dolores murió siendo señorita. (Repite) Murió sin tener amores, cero hits, cero carrera, cero error, y contándome nadita que si cogen a Sagüita que el chiqui chiqui chiqui que el cuchi cuchi cuchi y tengo que decirle ta’ bueno de Sagüita que barbaridad Death came to Dolores, still a virgin at the time She died not having lovers, no hits, no runs, no strikes. Forget about Saguita, I don’t want to hear any more! Enough about Saguita! It’s certainly a horror. Ta’ bueno ya, no me hables más de pelota, ya ya ya ya ya Enough is enough, don’t speak to me of baseball, ya ya ya ya ya. Se cansa uno. A person has to rest!

about

Inside World Music Blogspot 2014

Growing up in Texas, one is never too far away from the energetic, pulsating, and danceable sounds of Latin America. Saguita Al Bate is a rollicking, four-track album of cumbia, salsa, Latin, jazz, Caribbean, and Afro-Latin elements with some tunes coming from a previous release, La Americana. The lively percussion, driving horns, punchy bass, and rootsy accordion on a few tracks makes the music come alive with a classic vein running throughout the album. The music of Latin America is timeless when jazzy piano, heavy percussion, and soulful vocals are involved. This is especially true on Saguita Al Bate. The music is seemingly out of the 1950's, but it is equally at home in today's era. Anyone with an interest in classic Latin American music will love Leticia Rodriguez Garza. ~ Matthew Forss
