Quien canta su mal espanta
Jorge González Lyrics

Quien canta su mal espanta
The singer who expresses their personal struggles through their music can dispel their own negative energy and sometimes even inspire others to do the same.

Dice el cancionero
As the songbook says.

Dice el pueblo
As the people say.

O por lo menos sus canciones
Or at least their songs.

Quien canta por un contrato
The singer who sings solely for financial gain forgets the power of exchange that can come from honest expression and artistry.

Olvida el poder del intercambio
They forget the potential power of exchange.

Se vuelve lo que parece
They become what they appear to be, a performer who sings for money rather than for honest expression.

Y su madre no espanta
But their mother does not dispel their negative energy through song.

Y su madre se agiganta
Their mother becomes bigger and more important in their life.

Lo riega por el mundo
They spread their music throughout the world.

Lo riega por las radios
They spread their music through the radio.

Lo riega en el escenario
They spread their music on stage.

Lo riega por la tele
They spread their music through television.

Y lo publican en los diarios
Their music is published in newspapers.

Lo imprimen las imprentas
Their music is printed by publishers.

Y los filman en los cines
Their performances are filmed and shown in cinemas.

Y lo amplifican
Their music is amplified to reach a larger audience.

Al final
In the end,

Quien canta su mal espanta
The singer who expresses their personal struggles through their music can dispel their own negative energy and sometimes even inspire others to do the same.
