La Petenera - La Manta Übersetzung ins Englische

La Petenera

Dicen que el agua salada tiene varias seducciones
Dicen que el agua salada tiene varias seducciones
La cosa esta comprabada, ay lalala
La cosa esta comprobada que mantiene a tiburones
Que mantiene a tiburones y a la sirena encantada
Me embarqué para Birmania en un barco japonés
Me embarqué para Birmania en un barco japonés
Al pasar por Alemania, ay lalala
Al pasar por Alemania, me dijo un sabio francés (¿Qué te dijo?)
En la costa mexicana a luz al sol al revés
Marinero y pescador, cuando empiezan su faena
Marinero y pescador, cuando empiezan su faena
A Dios piden de favor, ay lalala
A Dios piden de favor, que la pesca sea muy buena
Y no escuchar el clamor de chaneques y sirenas
Sale el marinero, mira, la borrasca por el cielo
Cuando el marinero, mira, la borrasca por el cielo
Alza la cara y suspira, ay lalala ay lalala
Alza la cara y suspira, y le dice al compañero
Si Dios me salva la vida
No vuelvo a ser marinero
(Fin)

The Petenera

They say that saltwater has many seductions
They say that saltwater has many seductions
This is something that has been proven, oh my
This has been proven because it accommodates sharks
Because it accommodates sharks and the enchanting siren
I set sail for Burma on a Japanese boat
I set sail for Burma on a Japanese boat
As I passed by Germany, oh my
As I passed by Germany, a wise Frenchman said to me (What did he say?)
On the Mexican coast, the sun rises in reverse
Sailor and fisherman, when they start their work
Sailor and fisherman, when they start their work
They ask God for a favor, oh my
They ask God for a favor, that the fishing be very good
And to not hear the clamor of chaneques or sirens
The sailor leaves, look, the storm is in the sky
When the sailor, look, the storm is in the sky
He looks up and sighs, oh my oh my
He looks up and sighs, and he says to his companion
If God saves my life
I will never be a sailor again
