En un camino de polvo
On a dusty road
Una carreta va andando
A wagon is rolling along
Y un hombre tan salomando
And a man so full of wisdom
Contra de sudor y sueños
Against sweat and dreams
Yo trabajo pá mi dueño
I work for my master
Decía en su canto el montuno
He sang in his montuno
Y en el mundo no hay ninguno
And in the world, there's no one
Que en mi pueda encaramarse
Who can climb on top of me
Soy mi propio mayoral
I'm my own foreman
No le rindo cuenta nadie
I owe no one an explanation
Y a quien trate de obligarme
And to whoever tries to force me
Conversa con mi puñal
Has a conversation with my knife
Para el bien o para el mal
For good or for ill
A mi me parió mi madre
I was born from my mother
Del campo vengo compadre
I come from the fields, compadre
Mi papa era un campesino
My dad was a farmer
Yo soy del lado del espino
I'm from the side of the thorns
Y todos los viejos cuentan
And all the elders tell
Que no respeto lo mientan
That I don't respect the lies
Las brisas de los caminos
The breezes of the roads
De mi tierra sale el sol
From my land, the sun rises
Y por la noche la luna
And at night, the moon shines
Y no existe lengua alguna
And there’s no language at all
Que me niegue la razón
That can deny me the truth
Que tengo el alma de aguas clara
For I have the soul of clear waters
Y mano curtida en cuero, oh, oh, oh
And a hand weathered in leather, oh, oh, oh
Es mi descarga para que baile
It's my rhythm so you can dance
Es mi descarga para que goce
It's my rhythm so you can enjoy
Es mi descarga para que baile
It's my rhythm so you can dance
Es mi descarga para que goce
It's my rhythm so you can enjoy
Goza que goza mi descarga, gózala
Enjoy, enjoy my rhythm, enjoy it
Goza que goza mi descarga, gózala
Enjoy, enjoy my rhythm, enjoy it
Goza que goza mi descarga, gózala
Enjoy, enjoy my rhythm, enjoy it
Goza que goza mi descarga, gózala
Enjoy, enjoy my rhythm, enjoy it
Para aquellos que no se acuerdan de las amistades
For those who forget their friendships
Yo le vengo a inspirar este pequeño pedacito
I come to inspire this little piece
Para que se lo repitan a cualquiera cuando sea
So they can repeat it to anyone when the time comes
Cuando llegue la oportunidad
When the opportunity arises
Oye que tumbaó mas rico
Hey, what a sweet melody
Me extraña que no te acuerdes
I'm surprised you don't remember
Si con el correr de los años
If over the years
Hagan parecerte extraño
They've made the familiar seem strange
Los rostros que ya conoces
The faces you once knew
No te acuerdas de la voces
You don't remember the voices
Que calmaban tus pesares
That calmed your sorrows
Cuanto tienes cuanto vales
How much you have, how much you're worth
Ese es tu pensar de ahora
That's your thought for now
Pero va a llegar la hora
But the hour will come
Que establece la verdad
That establishes the truth
Y entonces comprenderás
And then you'll understand
Lo inmensos de tu errores
The immensity of your mistakes
Para conseguir las flores
To gather the flowers
Podrán perfumar tu ambiente
They may perfume your surroundings
Dar de entender a tu mente
Make your mind understand
En tu cuarto de madera
In your wooden room
Que aunque te creías candela
That even though you thought you were fire
Nadie puede con la muerte
No one can escape death
Que de la tierra saliste
For from the earth you came
Y al final para ella vuelves
And in the end, to her you return
Para Panamá me voy con mi descarga
To Panama, I go with my rhythm
Para Panamá me voy con Rubén cantando
To Panama, I go with Rubén singing
Para Panamá me voy con mi descarga
To Panama, I go with my rhythm
Para Panamá me voy con Rubén cantando
To Panama, I go with Rubén singing
