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.

Grieving Rooster

Here comes the dead man from Marigüitar
Four fishermen are going to bury him
Four fishermen are going to bury him
Here comes the dead man from Marigüitar.
Born in a port, died at sea
And his name was Juan Salazar.
Last night, last night he went out to fish
Singing last night he went out to sea.
He left singing and at dawn
Juan Salazar returned dead.
The locals dressed him in his shroud
With his party shirt.
Last night, last night he went out to fish
Singing last night he went out to sea.
And now they're taking him to be buried
In a box without a lid.
The people watch him pass by in silence
Then they stand there looking at the sea.
Like an unfinished embrace
The oars remain at sea.
Last night, last night he went out to fish
Singing last night he went out to sea.
