Lyrics
Aquí viene el muerto de Marigüitar
Cuatro pescadores lo van a enterrar
Cuatro pescadores lo van a enterrar
Aquí viene el muerto de Marigüitar
Nació en un puerto, murió en el mar
Y se llamaba Juan Salazar
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar
Cantando anoche se dio a la mar
Partió cantando y al aclarar
Volvía muerto Juan Salazar
Lo amortajaron los del lugar
Con su franela de parrandear
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar
Cantando anoche se dio a la mar
Y ya lo llevan a sepultar
En una caja sin cepillar
Muda la gente lo ve pasar
Luego se quedan mirando el mar
Como un abrazo sin terminar
Quedan los remos en altamar
Anoche, anoche salió a pescar
Cantando anoche se dio a la mar
Lyrics translation
Here Comes The Dead Marigüitar
Four fishermen are going to bury him
Four fishermen are going to bury him
Here Comes The Dead Marigüitar
Born in a port, died at sea
And his name was Juan Salazar
Last night, he went fishing last night.
Singing last night he hit the sea
He set off singing and clearing
Juan Salazar returned dead
It was dampened by the locals.
With his flannel parrandear
Last night, he went fishing last night.
Singing last night he hit the sea
And they're already taking him to the grave
In a box without a brush
Mute people see it happen
Then they stay looking at the sea
Like an unfinished hug
The oars remain on the high seas
Last night, he went fishing last night.
Singing last night he hit the sea
