Lyrics of El Pregón Del Pescador - Johnny Pacheco, Celia Cruz

El Pregón Del Pescador (original)

La mercancía que traigo
Es carga de mar y río
La langosta fresquesita
Nunca falta en mi tablero
Porque tiene la masita
Donde se le ve primero
Aquí le traigo el serrucho
Tierno a par con la ventrecha
Mi carga es de mar y río
Siempre la traigo completa
El camarón de la cueva
Requiere su trabajito
Porque si se pesca a mano
Puede quedarse mochito
Es para tener ojito
Traigo la almeja peseta
Mi carga es de mar y río
Siempre la traigo completa
Ay, del pescador oye mi pregón
Barquito fresco y el abulón
(del pescador oye mi pregón)
(con la langosta y el camarón)
Pero, ay, del pescador oye mi pregón
Cabeza 'e cherna para un sopón
(del pescador oye mi pregón)
(con la langosta y el camarón)
Con la langosta y el camarón
Almeja fresca y sabrosa opción
(del pescador oye mi pregón)
(con la langosta y el camarón)
Ay, del pescador oye mi pregón
Lo traigo fresco y sin discusión
(del pescador oye mi pregón)
(con la langosta y el camarón)
Ay, del pescador oye mi pregón
Almeja viva y el tiburón
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)
Y yo pregono también con el corazón
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)
Ay, el pescador y su carga es de lo mejor
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)
Cómprale niña y verás que sabrosos son
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)
Pescadorcito, pescado, mi pescador
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)
Que trae en barquito, la cherna y el camarón
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)
Su carga fresca, caramba, la compro yo
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)
Y yo pregono también como el pescador
(el pescador, mira tiene su pregón)…

(translation)

The merchandise that I bring
It is cargo of sea and river
The fresh lobster
It's never missing on my board
Because he has the masita
where you see him first
Here I bring you the saw
Tender on a par with the ventrecha
My cargo is sea and river
I always bring it complete
The cave shrimp
Requires your little work
Because if you fish by hand
You can stay small
It is to have an eye
I bring the peseta clam
My cargo is sea and river
I always bring it complete
Oh, from the fisherman hear my proclamation
Fresh boat and abalone
(from the fisherman hear my cry)
(with lobster and shrimp)
But, oh, the fisherman hears my proclamation
Head 'e cherna for a sopon
(from the fisherman hear my cry)
(with lobster and shrimp)
With lobster and shrimp
Fresh and tasty option clam
(from the fisherman hear my cry)
(with lobster and shrimp)
Oh, from the fisherman hear my proclamation
I bring it fresh and without discussion
(from the fisherman hear my cry)
(with lobster and shrimp)
Oh, from the fisherman hear my proclamation
live clam and shark
(the fisherman, look, has his proclamation from him)
And I also preach with my heart
(the fisherman, look, he has his proclamation)
Ay, the fisherman and his load of him is the best
(the fisherman, look, he has his proclamation)
Buy it girl and you will see how tasty they are
(the fisherman, look, he has his proclamation)
Little fisherman, fish, my fisherman
(the fisherman, look, he has his proclamation)
What does he bring in a small boat, the grouper and the shrimp
(the fisherman, look, he has his proclamation)
Her fresh load of him, gosh, I buy it
(the fisherman, look, he has his proclamation)
And I also preach like the fisherman
(the fisherman, look, he has his proclamation)…
