Текст и перевод песни Dueto de Antaño - El Boga

El Boga

Intro
Se oye en la noche un cantar
En el remanso del río
De un boga que sin llorar
Abandonó el platanal, su mujer y su bohío.
Se oye en la noche un cantar
En el remanso del río
De un boga que sin llorar
Abandonó el platanal, su mujer y su bohío.
El boga tiene una pena
Es dolida su canción
Ella dejó de ser buena
Por ella paga condena y ella está en su corazón.
Ya se acabó el platanal
El bohío se acabó
Sigue el boga con su cantar
Que no la puede olvidar aunque ella si lo olvidó.
Un lucero por llorar
Por el boga cayó al río
El boga se quiso ahogar
Más prefirió su cantar sin mujer y sin bohío.
El boga tiene una pena
Es dolida su canción
Ella dejó de ser buena
Por ella paga condena y ella está en su corazón.
Ya se acabó el platanal
El bohío se acabó
Sigue el boga con su cantar
Que no la puede olvidar aunque ella si lo olvidó.

The Boatman

Intro
A song is heard in the night
In the calm of the river
Of a boatman who without crying
Abandoned the banana plantation, his woman, and his hut.
A song is heard in the night
In the calm of the river
Of a boatman who without crying
Abandoned the banana plantation, his woman, and his hut.
The boatman carries a sorrow
His song is full of pain
She stopped being good
For her he pays the price, and she's in his heart.
The banana plantation is gone
The hut is no more
The boatman continues his song
He can't forget her, though she has forgotten him.
A star, out of sorrow
Fell into the river for the boatman
The boatman wanted to drown
But he preferred his song, without a woman or a hut.
The boatman carries a sorrow
His song is full of pain
She stopped being good
For her he pays the price, and she's in his heart.
The banana plantation is gone
The hut is no more
The boatman continues his song
He can't forget her, though she has forgotten him.
