Lyrics
Alla en el muelle, por la caleta
Un presidiario, triste yo vi La madrecita, lo consolaba
Y lo besaba con frenesi.
Era un muchacho noble y honrado
Y una mujer lo fatalizo
Y a muchos vicios que eran prohibidos
Aquel muchacho se dedico.
Era una noche, cuando en un baile
Enloquecido por el licor
A su fiel amigo que el mas queria
Sin un motivo lo asesino.
Lo condenaron a 20 aos
Triste miraba hacia la mar
Pensando siempre en esa isla
Donde las penas hiba a pagar.
Llego el barco se oyo el silbato
La pobre madre rompio a llorar
Ay no se lleven a ese hijo mio
Que trabajando yo lo crie.
Aquel muchacho dijo unas frases
Madre no llores no llores mas
Yo soy culpable y lo reconozco
Mas la condena debo pagar.
Y una noche cuando en su celda
Un pajarito vio llegar
Era la madre en forma de ave
Que a su hijo iba a visitar,
Que a su hijo… Iba a visitar.
Lyrics translation
There at the pier, by The Cove
A convict, sad I saw the mother, consoled him
And I kissed him with frenzy.
He was a noble and honest boy
And a woman fatalized him
And many vices that were forbidden
That boy did it.
It was a night when at a dance
Crazy about liquor
To his faithful friend whom he loved most
For no reason I kill him.
He was sentenced to 20 years.
Sad looking at the sea
Always thinking about that island
Where the penalties were going to pay.
The boat came and the whistle was heard
The poor mother broke up to cry
Oh, don't take that son of mine.
That working I raised him.
That boy said a few sentences.
Mother don't cry don't cry anymore
I am guilty and I admit it
But the sentence I have to pay.
And one night when in his cell
A little bird saw it coming
It was the bird-shaped mother
That his son was going to visit,
That your son ... was going to visit.
