Lyrics

Un pescador sale al clarear
Va hacia la playa
A meditar
Un nuevo día nació
Qué le traerá
Dentro de un rato
Tendrá que irse a pescar
Una mujer le va a implorar
Cuídate mucho
Y rompe a llorar
Se sonríe el pescador
Mira hacia atrás
Llora un nene
Pues se va su papá
El bote al fin
Se hace a la mar
Y de repente
Se escucha un tronar
Por sobre la tormenta
Se oye una voz
Una oración del pescador
Eres el Dios de las aguas
No me dejes ahogar
Mi mujer me está esperando
No quisiera oírla llorar
Quién cuidará de mi familia
Si yo les llego a faltar
Changüirí a ustéd le canto
Por favor venme a ayudar

Lyrics translation

A fisherman goes out on clearing
It goes to the beach
Meditating
A new day was born
What will bring you
In a while
You'll have to go fishing
A woman will beg you
Take good care of yourself
And breaks to cry
The fisherman smiles
Look back
Cry a baby
Well, his dad's leaving.
The boat at last
It is made to the sea
And suddenly
A Thunder is heard
Over the storm
A voice is heard
A fisherman's prayer
You are the God of the waters
Don't let me drown
My wife is waiting for me
I don't want to hear her cry.
Who will take care of my family
If I ever miss them
I'll change you I sing
Please come and help me
