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 vueve 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 |
Tu alimento es la esperanza |
Su paso no lleva prisa |
Su sombra nunca lo alcanza. |
Llega al patio |
Pensativo y cabizbajo |
Con su silendio de pobre |
Con los gritos por abajo. |
La ropa allá en los balcones |
El viento la va secando |
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 cuándo |
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 el 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 |
Eeeea 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 cuándo. |
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 dominó |
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. |
(Gracias a Noemi por esta letra) |
(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 penalty. |
paul town |
Your 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 poor man's silence |
With the screams below. |
The clothes there on the balconies |
The wind is drying it |
Hear a thunder in the sky |
Rainy weather warning. |
He enters the room and stares |
To his wife of him and the children |
And he wonders how long |
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 penalty. |
paul town |
His food is hope |
His step is not in a hurry |
His shadow of him never reaches him. |
Pablo town, Pablo brother |
He worked until he retired |
And there were never enough kids |
Pablo town, Pablo brother |
Voting in the elections |
Pa 'after eating a nail |
Pablo town, Pablo brother |
Paul with the silence of the poor |
With the screams below |
Pablo town, Pablo brother |
Eeeea move forward, Pablito |
And to life he puts his hand |
Pablo town, Pablo brother |
To a crucifix praying |
The change waiting on God |
Pablo town, Pablo brother |
Look at his wife of him and the kids |
And he wonders how long. |
Pablo town, Pablo brother |
He comes to his usual neighborhood |
Tired of the factory |
Pablo town, 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 town |
Oh Paul brother. |
