Linda Ronstadt: Y andale

Qu dirn los de tu casaCuando mi miran tomando,Pensarn que por tu causaYo me vivo emborrachando,Y ndale...Pero si vierasComo son lindas estas borracherasY ndale...(Coro)Pero hasta cuandoDejan tus padres de andarte cuidandoY ndale...Cada vez que vengo a verteSiempre me voy resbalando;O es que tengo mala suerteO es que me est lloviznandoY ndale...Pero si vierasSeco mi chaco en mi higuera floreandoY ndale...(Coro)Pero si cuandoSeco mi chaco en mi higuera floreandoY ndale...Me dices que soy un necioPorque me ando emborrachando,Y a pesar de tus deprecios,Yo quiero seguir tomando, y ndalePero si vierasComo son lindas estas borracheras...Y ndale...(Coro)Pero que bellasPaso las horas vaciando botellasY ndale.I am a renowned teetotaler, but I lovethis drinking song. The use of the wordchaco is unusual (it has been defined asorgan meat of hunted fowl) and the exactmeaning of the refrain it appears in probably has a double connotation. Ihave opted to sing it here with my niece,Mindy, who at 17 brings a lovely innocenceto this tale of gleeful debauchery.L.R.Get On With ItWhat will they say those in your houseWhen they see me drinking,Will they think that it's on account of youThat I live my life drinkingGet on with it.But if you could seeHow pretty these binges areGet on with it.(Chorus)But until wheneverYour parents stop protecting youGet on with it.Each time that I come to see youI'm always slipping;Is it that I have bad luckOr is it that it's drizzling on me,Get on with it.But if you could seeMe dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree groveGet on with it.(Chorus)But if everI dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove,Get on with it.You say that I'm a fool,Because i'm always getting drunk,And in spite of your scorn,I want to keep on drinking,Get on with it.But if you were to seeHow pretty these binges are,Get on with it.(Chorus)But how beautifulAre the hours I spend emptying bottles,Get on with it.
