Pobre Bohemio
Ana GabrielLyrics
Translation
Haz que suene esa lira mi hermano
Make that lyre sound, my brother
haz que lloren las cuerdas sus quejas
make the strings cry their complaints
acompaña mi canto paisano
accompany my song, countryman
porque voy a contarles mis penas
because I am going to tell you my sorrows
Este pobre bohemio que miran
This poor bohemian they see
trovador de cantina en cantina
tavern troubadour from bar to bar
que con llanto les cuenta su vida
who with tears tells them his life
y llorando les cuenta sus cuitas
and crying tells them his troubles
Muchas hembras tuve en mi camino
I had many women in my path
y el dinero corrio por mis manos
and money flowed through my hands
hoy de pronto cambio mi destino
today suddenly my destiny changed
y al momento quedé abandonado
and in an instant, I was abandoned
El dinero y las hembras no es nada
Money and women mean nothing
no me duele el haberlos perdido
I don't hurt for having lost them
lo que si me lastima en el alma

ver dejado mi pueblo querido

En el pueblo dejé yo a mis padres
In the town, I left my parents
a mi novia que tanto adoraba

a correr yo me fuí por el mundo

sin saber lo que a mi me esperaba

Una tarde lluviosa de junio
One rainy June afternoon
a mi casa feliz regresaba
I happily returned home
a mis padres encontré en la tumba
I found my parents in the grave
y ami novia la encontré casada

Comprendí que era falso en la vida

con dinero se cobra y se paga
with money, one pays and is paid
mientras tuve un cariño sincero

y por eso mi vida es amarga

Y por eso te digo mi hermano

así pienso pasarme la vida

y con copas contarles mi vida
