Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Puerto Abandondado by Ismael Miranda from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
En el ritmo del tambor
In the rhythm of the drum
Y el repique del bongó fué donde nació
And the ringing of the bongo was where he was born
Y con maña y presición
And with skill and precision
Fuerza bruta y corazón se le puso el canto.
Brute force and heart was put on the song.
Con lágrimas de alegrías
with tears of joy
Las voces resplandecian
the voices glowed
Repitiendo mi lamento
repeating my lament
Hoy contento yo me siento
Today happy I feel
Y tambien lleno de orgullo
And also full of pride
Al saber que mi Borinquen tiene montuno.(2x)
Knowing that my Borinquen has montuno.(2x)
Tiene montuno,tiene montuno
It has a montuno, it has a montuno
Tiene montuno, Borinquen tiene montuno
It has montuno, Borinquen has montuno
Yo he cantado en todas partes
I have sung everywhere
Creame usted Borinqueño
Believe me you Borinqueño
Soy el jibaro Aguadeño
I am the jibaro Aguadeño
Que si sabe del montuno.
What if he knows about the montuno.
La envidia no me molesta
Envy doesn't bother me
Son detalles que yo evito
They are details that I avoid
Por eso a mi no me fuñe
That's why it didn't work for me
Al oir niño bonito.
Hearing pretty boy.
Tiene montuno, Borinquen tiene montuno.
It has a montuno, Borinquen has a montuno.
Borinquen tiene montuno,
Borinquen has montuno,
Borinquen tiene montuno.
Borinquen has montuno.
Para componer un son
to compose a sound
Se necesita el montuno.
The mount is needed.
Que vengan cuatro, que venga tres
Let four come, let three come
Yo sigo siendo el número uno.
I'm still number one.
Ay, ponle mama un poquitico de ajiaco
Ay, mama put a little bit of ajiaco
Al sobrosito montuno, montuno.
Al sobresito montuno, montuno.
Y alegre el jíbarito va
And happy the jibarito goes
Y no se meta ninguno.
And no one gets involved
