Текст и перевод песни Rafael Escalona - El Viejo Migue

El Viejo Migue

Cuando viene de la paz algún amigo
Le pregunto si ha visto a miguel canales

Dicen que en la montaña está perdido
Que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale

De su vida, de su vida, no se sabe
Porque migue, en la montaña está perdido

Dicen que tiene barba como un padre
Dicen que tiene el pelo como un indio

Ay! Que le estará pasando al pobre migue
Que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale

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

Porque se ha convertido en hermitaño
De la montaña no quiere salir

Me le dicen, me le dicen a miguel
Que se deje, que se deje ver la cara

Qué si no viene aquí, yo voy por él
Antes que se lo trague la montaña

Que le estará pasando al pobre migue
Que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale

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.

Old Migue

When someone from La Paz comes to visit,
I ask if they've seen Miguel Canales.

They say he's lost in the mountains,
That he hasn't come out in a long time.

His life, his life, is unknown,
Because Miguel is lost in the mountains.

They say he has a beard like a priest,
They say his hair is long like an Indian.

Oh! What could be happening to poor Miguel?
He hasn't come out in a long time.

I bet that if he knew I was here,
Poor Miguel would come out of the mountains.
Tell him I'm waiting for him here in La Paz,
That if he doesn't come here, I'll go there.

When I continue, when I continue asking,
They tell me that he's never coming back.

Because he's become a hermit,
He doesn't want to leave the mountains.

Tell Miguel, tell Miguel,
That he should let himself be seen.

That if he doesn't come here, I'll go get him,
Before the mountains swallow him up.

What could be happening to poor Miguel?
He hasn't come out in a long time.

I bet that if he knew I was here,
Poor Miguel would come out of the mountains.
Tell him I'm waiting for him here in La Paz,
That if he doesn't come here, I'll go there.
