Cold sweat drop
Moralito, remember that day
When you were in Uramita
and did not want to make party?
You left early in the morning
Was it because of that grugde from long ago?
When I play the accordion, my notes are extensive
And nobody needs to correct me
To play with him in the feast
Tomorrow morning
On the day of Virgin Mary,
Or he'll defeat me, or I'll defeat him there
So as to finish that argument once and for all
Ay, Morales does not defeat me
Because I don't feel like giving in
Moralito does not defeat me
Because I don't feel like giving in
What good manners would a chumeca indian
like Lorenzo Morales have?
What good manners would he have
Since he was raised amidst fields of cardón cactuses?
Moralito tells my mom lies about me
Just to upset me
And now, just to upset him
I'll tell his lies about him
Moralito was sure that
He would beat me
But when he heard me playing
He sweated cold for fear
After all, he agreeded he had lost
And his ambitions just backfired

A couple of suggestions for the English:
We never, ever say in English "make party." It would be "You didn't want to go party" or "go partying"
It should be "Either he'll defeat me, or I'll defeat him." We never, ever say "or... or" as is said in Spanish.
Last line, I would suggest "He blew his shot" as a good idiomatic translation of "el tiro le salió mal"
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!

This song is about a dispute between two musicians. The version from the link is very explanatory but it is confusing and incomplete. This is a classic bailable from tropical music. ;)
