El Emigrante Lyrics in English Celtas Cortos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Emigrante by Celtas Cortos from Spanish to English.
Esta es la vida del emigrante
This is the life of the emigrant
del vagabundo del sueño errante
of the wandering dreamer
Coge tu vida en tu pañuelo
Take your life in your handkerchief
con tu pobreza tira pa'lante
with your poverty, move forward
Si encuentras un destino
If you find a destiny
si encuentras el camino
if you find the way
tendrás que irte a ese lugar
you'll have to go to that place
el polvo del camino
the dust of the road
cubre tu rostro amigo
covers your friendly face
con tu miseria a ese lugar
with your misery to that place
Un dios maldijo la vida del emigrante
A god cursed the life of the emigrant
serás mal visto por la gente en todas partes
you'll be poorly seen by people everywhere
serás odiado por racistas maleantes
you'll be hated by racist thugs
y la justicia te maltrata sin piedad
and justice mistreats you mercilessly
Todos hermanos Todos farsantes
All brothers All deceivers
hacen mentiras con las verdades
they make lies with truths
buscas trabajo y tienes hambre
you look for work and you're hungry
pero no hay sitio pal emigrante
but there's no place for the emigrant
Si encuentras un destino
If you find a destiny
si encuentras el camino
