Ven A Ver

Come and See

Ven A Ver

Down the boulevard they look at each other as dawn beginsPor el boulevard se miran cuando empieza a amanecer
Youngsters still dreaming, old folks still able to runJovencitos que aun deliran, viejos que aun pueden correr
Happy people who have traveled from tram to busGente alegre que ha viajado del tranva al microbus
On the route from the past to the present in VeracruzEn la ruta del pasado al presente en Veracruz

Come and see the kid on the boardwalkVen a ver al nio que en el malecn
Pulling a coin from the depthsSaca del fondo una moneda
Enduring the sun and holding his breathAguantando el sol y la respiracin
Come and see in the pirate the passionVen a ver en el pirata la aficin
That roars like the tideQue ruge como la marea
Every time the shark scores a goalCada vez que anota gol el tiburn

To remedy the ills, a good drink doesn't hurtPara remediar los males un buen trago no va mal
Any night in the portals, any day in carnivalCualquier noche en los portales, cualquier dia en carnaval
For the heat or for the suffocation, an ice cream vendor shoutsPa el calor o para el sofoco un nevero gritar
Nanche or coconut ice, come and get itNieve de nanche o de coco gero gero lleval

Come and see the beach baseball player on the sandVen a ver el baseball playero en el playn
Who makes you thrill similarly when the eagle hits a home runQue hace vibrar similarmente cuando el guila conecta de home run
Come and see that in the Parish the soundVen a ver que en la Parroquia suena el son
Of impatient spoons that blend coffee and traditionDe cucharitas impacientes que amalgaman al cafe y la tradicin

Veracruz would like to give you a songVeracruz quisiera darte una cancin
With music by Agustin LaraCon msica de Agustin Lara
And lyrics by the poet Diaz MirnY con letra del poeta Diaz Mirn

Come and see...Ven a ver...
Come and see...Ven a ver...
Come to VeracruzVen a Veracruz
Come and seeVen a ver
