Текст и перевод песни Chavela Vargas - Lamento Borincano

Lamento Borincano

Sale, loco de contento
Con su cargamento para la ciudad, ay, para la ciudad.
Lleva en su pensamiento todo un mundo llego de felicidad,
Ay, de felicidad.

Piensa en remediar la situación
De su hogar que es toda su ilusión, si.
Que alegre el jibarito va diciendo así, pensando así, cantando así por el camino.
Si yo vendo la garga mi dios querido, un traje a mi viejita voy a comprar.

Que alegre tambien su yegua va a presentir que su cantar es todo un himno de alegria,
En eso le sorprende la luz del día y llegan al mercado de la ciudad.

Pasa la mañana entera, sin que nadie quiera su carga comprar, ay, su carga comprar.
Todo, todo esta desierto y el pueblo esta muerto de necesidad,
Ay, de necesidad.

Se oyen los lamentos por doquier, de su desdichada borinques, si.
Que triste el jibarillo

Lament of a Puerto Rican

He sets off, mad with joy
With his cargo for the city, oh, for the city.
He carries in his thoughts a whole world filled with happiness,
Oh, with happiness.

He thinks of remedying the situation
Of his home, which is his whole dream, yes.
How the happy farmer goes along, saying this, thinking this, singing this along the way.
If I sell the load, my dear God, I'll buy a dress for my old lady.

How happy his mare is too, she senses that his song is a hymn of joy,
And in that, the light of day surprises them and they arrive at the city market.

The whole morning passes without anyone wanting to buy his load, oh, to buy his load.
Everything, everything is deserted and the town is dead from need,
Oh, from need.

The laments of his unfortunate Puerto Rico can be heard everywhere, yes.
How sad the farmer
