Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Le Den by La K'onga from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ese hombre que tú tienes no está en nada
That man that you have is nothing
Que en vez de enamorarte te desgasta
that instead of falling in love it wears you out
No tiene bueno modales
does not have good manners
Y no es atento contigo
And he is not attentive to you
Ese hombre no se merece que le des tanto cariño
That man does not deserve that you give him so much love.
El duerme la mañana y tú trabajas
He sleeps in the morning and you work
Y luego por la noche se te escapa
And then at night it slips away
Te exige que tú le laves
He demands that you wash him
Que lo vistas y lo calces
That you dress it and wear it
Y si a caso tu protestas
And if you protest
Se indigna y quiere pegarte
He is outraged and wants to hit you
Que le den candela
They give Candela
Ay que le den castigo
Oh, give him punishment
Que lo metan en una holla
That they put it in a holla
Y que se cocine en su vino
And let it cook in your wine
Que le den candela
They give Candela
Que le den castigo
that they give him punishment
Que lo cuelguen de una cometa
Get hung from a kite
Y que luego corten el hilo
And then cut the thread
¡Azúca', azúca'!
Sugar, sugar!
Ese hombre que tú tienes buena amiga
That man that you have a good friend
Si yo fuera tú le dejaría
if i were you i would let him
Las maletas en la puerta
suitcases at the door
Y una nota que dijera
And a note that said
A partir de este momento que te cocine tu abuela
From this moment on, let your grandmother cook for you
Que le den candela
They give Candela
Ay que le den castigo
Oh, give him punishment
Que lo metan en una holla
That they put it in a holla
Y que se cocine en su vino
And let it cook in your wine
Que le den candela
They give Candela
Ay que le den castigo
Oh, give him punishment
Que lo cuelguen de una cometa
Get hung from a kite
Y que luego corten el hilo
And then cut the thread
Que le den candela, que le den
That they give him candle, that they give him
Que le den castigo
that they give him punishment
Que no sea tan malo y haragán
Don't be so bad and lazy
Que sea más bueno contigo

Que le den candela, que le den
That they give him candle, that they give him
Que le den castigo

Que se cocine en su vino
Let it cook in your wine
Y que agarre otro camino
And take another path
Que le den candela, que le den
That they give him candle, that they give him
Que le den castigo

Que le den candela, que le den, que le den, que le den
That they give him fire, that they give him, that they give him, that they give him
Dile que no sea cretino

Que le den candela, que le den

Que le den castigo

Ese hombre no te merece

Te digo que lo tienes que olvidar

¡Óyeme! Cocínalo bien

Ponlo en la sartén

Que se lo lleve un camión o lo arroye un tren
Let it be taken by a truck or run over by a train
Que se cocine en su vino

Que vaya a comer, a casa 'el vecino

Él no sabe que tú tienes otro en el bullpen, ¡ay!
