Lamento Borincano (original)Lamento Borincano (translation)
Sale loco de contento con su cargamento para la ciudad, ay, para la ciudad He goes crazy with his cargo for the city, oh, for the city
Lleva en su pensamiento todo un mundo lleno de felicidad, si, de felicidad He carries in his thoughts a whole world full of happiness, yes, of happiness
Piensa en remediar la situación del hogar que és toda su ilusión, si Y alegre el jibarito va pensando así, diciendo aí, cantando así por el camino: He thinks about remedying the situation at home, which is all his illusion of him, if And happy the jibarito goes thinking like this, saying there, singing like this along the way:
«Si vendo toda carga mi Dios querido, un traje a mi viejita voy a comprar» "If I sell all my cargo, my dear God, I'm going to buy a suit for my old lady"
Y alegre también su yegua va al presentir que su cantar es como un himno de alegria And his mare is also happy when he senses that his singing is like a hymn of joy
En esto le sorprende la luz del día In this he is surprised by the light of day
Y llegan al mercado de la ciudad And they come to the city market
Pasa la mañana intera sin que nadie quiera su carga comprar, ay, He spends the whole morning without anyone wanting to buy his load, oh,
su carga comprar your cargo buy
Todo, todo está desierto, el pueblo está muerto de necessidad, ay, de necesidad Everything, everything is deserted, the town is dead of necessity, oh, of necessity
Se oye este lamento por doquier This lament is heard everywhere
En mi desdichada Borinquen, sí In my miserable Borinquen, yes
Y triste el jibarito va Pensando así, diciendo así, llorando así por el camino: And sad the jibarito goes Thinking like this, saying like this, crying like this along the way:
«Que será de Borinquen mi Dios querido?«What will become of Borinquen my dear God?
Que será de mis hijos y de mi hogar» What will become of my children and my home»
Bborinquen, la tierra del Edén Bborinquen, the land of Eden
Y que al cantar el gran Gautier llamó la perla de los mares And that when singing the great Gautier called the pearl of the seas
Ahora que te mueres com tus pesares Now that you die with your sorrows
Déjame que te cante you tambiénLet me sing to you too
