Ruben Blades - Pablo Pueblo

(original)
Regresa un hombre en silencio
De su trabajo cansado
Su paso no lleva prisa
Su sombra nunca lo alcanza
Lo espera el barrio de siempre
Con el farol en la esquina
Con la basura allá en frente
Y el ruido de la cantina
Pablo Pueblo
Llega hasta el zaguán oscuro
Y vuelve a ver las paredes
Con las viejas papeletas
Que prometían futuros
En lides politiqueras
Y en su cara se dibuja
La decepción de la espera
Pablo Pueblo
Hijo del grito y la calle
De la miseria y del hambre
Del callejón y la pena
Pablo Pueblo
Su alimento es la esperanza
Su paso no lleva prisa
Su sombra nunca lo alcanza
Llega al patio
Pensativo y cabizbajo
Con su silencio del pobre
Con los gritos por abajo
La ropa, allá, en los balcones
El viento la va secando
Se escucha un trueno en el cielo
Tiempo de lluvia avisando
Entra al cuarto
Y se queda mirando
A su mujer y a los niños
Y se pregunta: «¿hasta cuando?»
Toma sus sueños raídos
Los parcha con esperanzas
Hace del hambre una almohada
Y se acuesta triste de alma
Pablo Pueblo
Hijo del grito y la calle
De la miseria y del hambre
Del callejón y la pena
Pablo Pueblo
Su alimento es la esperanza
Su paso no lleva prisa
Su sombra nunca lo alcanza
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
Trabajó hasta jubilarse
Y nunca sobraron chavos
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
Votando en las elecciones
Pa' después comerse un clavo
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
Pablo con el silencio del pobre
Con los gritos por abajo
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
¡Eeeh!
¡Eeah!
¡Echa pa' 'lante, Pablito!
Y a la vida mete mano
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
A un crucifijo rezando
El cambio esperando en Dios
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
Mira a su mujer y a los nenes
Y se pregunta: «¿hasta cuando?»
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
Llega a su barrio de siempre
Cansa’o de la factoría
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo hermano
Buscando suerte en caballos
Y comprando lotería
Pablo pueblo, Pablo hermano
Gastándose un dinerito en domino
Y tomándose un par de tragos
Pablo pueblo, Pablo hermano
Hijo del grito y la calle
De la pena y el quebranto
Pablo pueblo, Pablo hermano
¡Ay, Pablo Pueblo!
¡Ay, Pablo hermano!
(translation)
A silent man returns
Of your tired work
His step is not in a hurry
His shadow of him never reaches him
The usual neighborhood awaits
With the lantern in the corner
With the garbage there in front
And the noise of the canteen
Paul Town
Reaches the dark hall
And see the walls again
With the old ballots
that promised future
In political disputes
And on his face he draws
The disappointment of waiting
Paul Town
Son of the scream and the street
Of misery and hunger
From the alley and the sorrow
Paul Town
His food is hope
His step is not in a hurry
His shadow of him never reaches him
comes to the yard
Thoughtful and downcast
With his silence of the poor
With the screams below
The clothes, there, on the balconies
The wind is drying it
Thunder is heard in the sky
rainy weather warning
enter the room
and he stares
To his wife of him and the children
And he wonders: “until when?”
Take their shabby dreams
He patches them with hope
Makes hunger a pillow
And he goes to bed with a sad soul
Paul Town
Son of the scream and the street
Of misery and hunger
From the alley and the sorrow
Paul Town
His food is hope
His step is not in a hurry
His shadow of him never reaches him
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
He worked until he retired
And there were never enough kids
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
Voting in the elections
Pa 'after eating a nail
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
Paul with the silence of the poor
With the screams below
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
Hey!
Hey!
Go forward, Pablito!
And to life he puts his hand
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
To a crucifix praying
The change waiting on God
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
Look at his wife of him and the kids
And he wonders: “until when?”
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
He comes to his usual neighborhood
Tired of the factory
Pablo Pueblo, Pablo brother
Looking for luck on horses
and buying lottery
Pablo town, Pablo brother
Spending a little money on dominoes
And having a couple of drinks
Pablo town, Pablo brother
Son of the scream and the street
Of grief and loss
Pablo town, Pablo brother
Oh Pablo Pueblo!
Oh Paul brother!
