Paraguaná
¡ah mundo!, tierra reseca
Que ves las nubes pasar
Se te secan las casimbas
Y no viene el vendabal
What sanmara pararaguaná?
What do you say paraguana?
Que buena vaina paraguaná
Y sólo la estela negra
Va dejando el petrolero
Y ya el viejo pescador
Lo mandan a pescar lejos
Camino de recuas
El viejo camino
Que donde pasó
En su viaje a la costa
Soló llevó juan pire
La esperanza con papelón
Algunos se quedaron y él regresó
Hasta la sombra amiga
Del cotizal.
¡ah mundo!, tierra reseca
Estás soñando con cambiar
Y las cabras que te quedan
Van buscando su corral
Al ver el mechurrio
Quemando su cielo, casi lloró
Su cerro, casi lloró
Al ver las cumaraguas
Lomo al sol
Su solitario cerro, casi lloró
Al ver su pobre gente
Lomo al sol

Que buena vaina y no digo más

Paraguaná
Oh world!, dry land
You see the clouds passing by
Your huts are drying up
And the windstorm doesn't come
What's up with Paraguaná?
What do you say, Paraguaná?
What a good thing, Paraguaná
And only the black trail
Is left by the oil tanker
And the old fisherman
Is sent to fish far away
Path of mules
The old road
Where he passed
On his journey to the coast
Only Juan Pire took
Hope with panela
Some stayed and he returned
To the friendly shade
Of the cotizal
Oh world!, dry land
You're dreaming of change
And the goats you have left
Are looking for their pen
Seeing the refinery
Burning its sky, almost cried
Its hill, almost cried
Seeing the cumaraguas
Back to the sun
Its lonely hill, almost cried
Seeing its poor people
Back to the sun

What a good thing, and I won't say more
What do you say, Paraguaná?
What a good thing, and I won't say more (repeat)
