Para ser conductor de primera
This is a "back of the bus" type of song…
Para ser conductor de primera
To Be a First Class Driver
Canción de autobús
Bus Song
(Spanish)
(English)
Para ser conductor de primera,
de segunda, de tercera,
para ser conductor de primera,
hace falta ser buen bebedor*.
Con el vino se engrasan las ruedas
ay las ruedas, ay las ruedas,
con el vino se engrasan las ruedas
y se suben las cuestas mejor**.
Ay señor conductor, acelera,
acelera, acelera,
ay señor conductor, acelera,
acelera señor conductor.
To be a first class driver,
Second class, third class,
To be a first class driver,
You need to be a good drinker.
With the wine, the wheels get greased,
Oh, the wheels, oh, the wheels,
With the wine, the wheels get greased
And it's easier to drive up the slopes.
Oh, Mister Driver, speed up,
Speed up, speed up,
Oh, Mister Driver, speed up,
Speed up, Mister Driver.
