Díganle a Chema Maestre

También a Arturo Molina
Also to Arturo Molina
Que yo me voy pa' la Guajira
Que yo me voy pa' la Guajira
Porque aquí tengo mala suerte
Because I'm unlucky here
Y si no puedo volver
And if I can't go back
Porque en la Guajira muero
Because in La Guajira I die
Ay solo quedará el recuerdo
Oh, only the memory will remain
De aquél amigo que se fue
From that friend who left
Yo sé que me recordarán
I know they will remember me
Cuando vayan a parrandear
When they go to party
Y alguna personalidad que
And some personality that
El pobre Escalona murió ya
Poor Escalona is dead
Me rezan de compasión
They pray to me with compassion
Como a todo el que se muere
Like everyone who dies
Ay para que mi alma no pene
Oh so that my soul does not penis
Por falta de una oración
For lack of a prayer
Le dicen a Dina Luz
They tell Dina Luz
La más bella e' Villanueva

Que vaya a visitá a mi cruz
Let me go to visit my cross
Y que me pongan flores nuevas
And let them put new flowers on me
Yo sé que me recordarán
I know they will remember me
Cuando vayan a parrandear
When they go to party
Y alguna personalidad que
And some personality that
El pobre Escalona murió ya
Poor Escalona is dead
