Refranes by Gloria Estefan

These are from Gloria Estefan's song Refranes. Can anyone help me with their meanings? I don't have any ideas by way of translating to an English idiom. My native language is Portuguese.


The video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqy7WHibInk


Amor y fortuna, resistencia ninguna.

A cada pajarito, le gusta su nidillo.

A caras honradas, no encuantra puerta cerrada.

A cualquier dolencia, el remedio es la paciencia.

A casa de ti tía, entrada por salida.

A la cena y la cama, una vez se llama.

No por mucho madrugar, amanece mas temprano.

Thanks for the youtube link. I love cumbia and I had no idea that Gloria Estefan sang any cumbia.

Sorry I tried all three of my song lyric translators and did not get a hit on this song. Most of it is pretty straight forward. The parts are sung in a statement and an answer, so...

  • Amor y fortuna, resistencia ninguna. Love and fortune, no resistance
  • A cada pajarito, le gusta su nidillo. Every liitle bird, likes its little nest.

I'll leave the other for other to answer.
