Que Simbad El Marino se fue
That Sinbad the Sailor left
Con su barco a navegar
With his ship to sail
Y me dijo que gran pesca traería al regresar
And he told me he'd bring back a great catch
Y yo le dije que sin caña era imposible pescar
And I told him that without a rod it was impossible to fish
El me dijo, "No es la caña, mulato; que es maña lo que hay que usar"
He said to me, 'It's not the rod, my friend; it's skill that you must use'
Pero sin vara, sin, sin vara
But without a pole, no, no pole
Sin vara tu no va' pescar
Without a pole you won't fish
Simbad sin vara, Simbad
Sinbad without a pole, Sinbad
(Belén)
(Sin vara, Simbad El Marino, sin vara no va' pescar)
(Without a pole, Sinbad the Sailor, without a pole you won't fish)
Mari Belén, su botecito de vela, Simba' El Marino fue a pescar
Mari Belén, her little sailing boat, Simba' El Marino went fishing
(Sin vara, Simbad El Marino, sin vara no va' pescar)

No va' venir, pero me dice que no es la caña

Que es maña lo que hay que usar
It's skill that you need to use

Mari Belenba' no va' pescar
Mari Belenba' isn't going to fish
(Sin vara, Simbad El Marino, sin vara no va' pescar)
