Текст и перевод песни Inti Illimani - Polo doliente

Polo doliente

Aquí viene el muerto de Marigüitar
Cuatro pescadores lo van a enterrar
Cuatro pescadores lo van a enterrar
Aquí viene el muerto de Marigüitar.

Nació en un puerto, murió en el mar
Y se llamaba Juan Salazar.
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar
Cantando anoche se dio a la mar.

Partió cantando y al aclarar
Volvía muerto Juan Salazar.
Lo amortajaron los del lugar
Con su franela de parrandear.

Anoche, anoche salió a pescar,
Cantando anoche se dio a la mar.

Y ya lo llevan a sepultar
En una caja sin cepillar.
Muda la gente lo ve pasar
Luego se quedan mirando el mar.

Como un abrazo sin terminar
Quedan los remos en altamar.
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar
Cantando anoche se dio a la mar.

Sorrowful Polo

Here comes the dead man from Marigüitar, my love.
Four fishermen are going to bury him.
Four fishermen are going to bury him.
Here comes the dead man from Marigüitar.

He was born in a port, he died at sea, dear.
And his name was Juan Salazar.
Last night, last night he went fishing.
Singing last night he went to sea.

He left singing and at dawn, my sweet.
Juan Salazar was returning dead.
The locals shrouded him, you see.
In his partying shirt, just for me.

Last night, last night he went fishing.
Singing last night he went to sea.

And now they are taking him to be buried, my dear.
In an unplaned box, it's clear.
Silent people watch him pass by, it's true.
Then they stay looking at the sea, too.

Like an unfinished embrace, you'll agree.
The oars remain on the high sea.
Last night, last night he went fishing.
Singing last night he went to sea.
