Si Vai Pal Sur

If You Go South

Si Vai Pal Sur

If you go southSi vai' pal' sur
If you go southSi vai' pal' sur

Don't bring me a little sorrowNo me traigai una peni(ta)
Bring me instead a don't forget meTrae mas bien me un no me olvi(des)
Of salty water, wind, stone, and seashellDe agua sala(da), viento, piedra y caracol

If you go southSi vai' pal' sur
If you go southSi vai' pal' sur

Don't bring me a little sorrowNo me traigai una penita
Bring me instead a don't forget meTrae mas bien me un no me olvides
Salty water, wind, stone, and seashellAgua sala, viento, piedra y caracol

If you go southSi vai' pal' sur
If you go southSi vai' pal' sur

Bring me warm handsTraime' las manos calentita
Love and stew in the belly and go southAmor y guiso en la guatita y vai pal sur

If you go north, thereSi vai pal norte, hay
If you go northSi vai pal norte

Take a fine one for the roadLlevate un fino pal' camino
And go northY vai' pal' norte

Bring me feet wet in the riverTraeme los pies mojado en rio
Bring the beard all messyTrae la barba a lo cochino
Aroma of the mountain and sugarcane fieldAroma e' monte de cañaveral

If you go north, thereSi vai pal norte, hay
If you go northSi vai pal norte

If you go north, thereSi vai pal norte, hay
If you go northSi vai pal norte

Take my song with youLleva contigo mi canción
And let it lull you in your sadnessY que te arrulle en tu tristeza
And smile at you in your joyY te sonria en tu alegria
And remember me forever with loveY me recuerdes para siempre con amor
