Paroles et traduction Carlos Vives - Miguel Canales

Miguel Canales

Cuando viene de la Paz algÚn amigo
Le pregunto si ha visto a Miguel Canales (bis)
Dicen que en la montaña está perdido
Que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale (bis)
De su vida, de su vida, no se sabe
Porque Migue, en la montaña está perdido (bis)
Dicen que tiene barba como un padre
Dicen que tiene el pelo como un indio (bis)
Ay! que le estará pasando al pobre Migue
Que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale (bis)
Apuesto a que si sabe que Yo vine
De la motaña sale el pobre Migue
Decíle que lo espero aquí en la Paz
Que si no viene aquí yo voy allá.
Cuando sigo, cuando sigo preguntando
Me dicen que no tiene cuando venir (bis)
Porque se ha convertido en hermitaño
De la montaña no quiere salir (bis)
Me le dicen, me le dicen a Miguel
Que se deje, que se deje ver la cara (bis)
Qué si no viene aquí, yo voy por él
Antes que se lo trague la montaña.(bis)
Que le estará pasando al pobre Migue
Que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale (bis)
Apuesto a que si sabe que Yo vine
De la motaña sale el pobre Migue
Decíle que lo espero aquí en la Paz
Que si no viene aquí yo voy allá.

Miguel Canales

When a friend comes from La Paz
I ask if they've seen Miguel Canales (twice)
They say he is lost in the mountains
That he has not been seen in a long time (twice)
No one knows anything about his life
Because Migue is lost in the mountains (twice)
They say he has a beard like a father
They say his hair is like an Indian (twice)
Oh! What could have happened to poor Migue
That he has not been seen in a long time (twice)
I bet that if he knew I came
Poor Migue would come out of the mountains
Tell him I'll be waiting here in La Paz
If he doesn't come here, I'll go there
When I continue to ask
They tell me he has no time to come (twice)
Because he has become a hermit
He doesn't want to leave the mountains (twice)
Tell Miguel
Let him show his face (twice)
If he doesn't come here, I'll go for him
Before the mountains swallow him whole (twice)
What could have happened to poor Migue
That he has not been seen in a long time (twice)
I bet that if he knew I came
Poor Migue would come out of the mountains
Tell him I'll be waiting here in La Paz
If he doesn't come here, I'll go there
