El Carretero(original) |
| Por el camino del sitio mio |
| Un carretero alegre paso |
| Con su canciones que es muy sentida |
| Y muy guajira alegre cantó |
| Me voy al transbordador |
| A descargar la carreta |
| A descargar la carreta |
| Para cumplir con la meta |
| De mi pequeña labor |
| A caballo vamos pa´l monte |
| A caballo vamos pa´l monte |
| A caballo vamos pa´l monte |
| Yo trabajo sin reposo |
| Para poderme casar |
| Para poderme casar |
| Y si lo llego a lograr |
| Seré un guajiro dichoso |
| A caballo |
| Soy guajiro y carretero |
| Y en el campo vivo bien |
| Y en el campo vivo bien |
| Porque el campo es el eden |
| Más lindo del mundo entero |
| A caballo |
| Chapea el monte, cultiva el llano |
| Recoge el fruto de tu sudor |
| Recoge el fruto de tu sudor |
| (translation) |
| On the way to my place |
| A merry carter passed |
| With her songs of hers that she is very heartfelt |
| And very happy guajira sang |
| I'm going to the ferry |
| To unload the cart |
| To unload the cart |
| To meet the goal |
| of my little work |
| On horseback we go to the mountain |
| On horseback we go to the mountain |
| On horseback we go to the mountain |
| I work without rest |
| to be able to get married |
| to be able to get married |
| And if I make it |
| I will be a happy peasant |
| By horse |
| I am a guajiro and a carter |
| And in the country I live well |
| And in the country I live well |
| Because the field is Eden |
| prettiest in the whole world |
| By horse |
| Chapea the mount, cultivate the plain |
| Collect the fruit of your sweat |
| Collect the fruit of your sweat |
