Lyrics
Muy cerca de tus muelles
donde vive Soledad,
un hombre muy temprano
se levanta a trabajar,
se toma el caf claro
para que pueda alcanzar,
le da un beso a la vieja,
se presigna en el altar.
Y se va y se va
y el se va a pescar,
con su canalete
se va vistiendo de inmensidad.
Y amaneci domingo,
se despierta la ciudad,
es un hombre con fortuna,
que a la iglesia va a rezar,
da gracias por lo que ha sido
tambin por lo que ser
y le pide por su equipo
que a la tarde jugar.
Y se va y se va
el se va a cantar
y de azul y rojo
su sueo vuelve a pintar.
Y el se va y se va y el se va a gritar
juega Pescato
el hijo de Soledad.
Canta en el estadio
si tu equipo va ganando
y si va perdiendo,
mejor siguele cantando.
Suena la sirena,
sopla cicln bananero,
mi Unin Magdalena
t sabes cunto te quiero.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
tocan los tamboreros.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
que ya comienza el juego
Pitn, pitn, pitn
repican esos cueros.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
que alegre est mi pueblo.
La barra guajira
all en sombra general,
con los cienagueros
tocando el pitn — pitn.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
tocan los tamboreros.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
acompaando al juego.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
la cantan los gaiteros.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
que alegre est mi pueblo.
Gorrero, gorrero
qutate el sombrero.
Gorrero, gorrero
qutate el sombrero.
Si no te lo quitas
te lo tiro al suelo.
Si no te lo quitas
te lo tiro al suelo.
Les traigo bonito,
camarones de la barra,
llevo sierra fresca
con la lisa y la mojarra.
Tengo pargo rojo,
pescado de esta maana,
si no me lo compras,
que me lo compre tu hermana.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
anoche tuve un sueo.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
que estbamos pequeos.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
y estaban los abuelos.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
que alegre era mi pueblo.
Pitn, pitn, pitn (bis)
Lyrics translation
Very close to your docks
where Soledad lives,
a very early man
he gets up to work,
clear caf is taken
so you can reach,
he kisses the Old Lady,
it's on the altar.
And it goes and it goes
and he's going fishing,
with its channel
he wears immensity.
And dawn Sunday,
the city wakes up,
he's a man of Fortune.,
that the church will pray,
give thanks for what it has been
also for what to be
and he asks for his team
that afternoon play.
And it goes and it goes
he's going to sing
and blue and red
his dream is painting again.
And he's going and he's going and he's going to scream
play Fish
the son of Soledad.
Sing in the stadium
if your team wins
and if he loses,
better keep singing to him.
The siren sounds,
blowing banana cycln,
my Unin Magdalena
you know how much I love you.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
drummers play.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
the game already begins
Pitn, pitn, pitn
they're picking up those skins.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
how happy my people are.
The guajira bar
all in general Shadow,
with the cienaguers
playing the pitn-pitn.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
drummers play.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
accompanying the game.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
the Piper sings it.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
how happy my people are.
Gorrero, gorrero
take off your hat.
Gorrero, gorrero
take off your hat.
If you don't take it off
I'll throw it down.
If you don't take it off
I'll throw it down.
I bring you nice,
bar shrimps,
I have a fresh saw
with the smooth and the wet.
I have red snapper,
this morning's fish,
if you don't buy it for me,
have your sister buy it for me.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
I had a dream last night.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
that we're small.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
and there were the grandparents.
Pitn, pitn, pitn
how cheerful my people were.
Pitn, pitn, pitn (bis)
