La Vida Vale La Pena
Cuando vine a Palenquito yo vi la vida en un hoyo
Me dediqué con mis hijos a sacar arena del arroyo
Oye, mi chale, la vida vale la pena
Coge la pala en la mano, vamos a sacar la arena
Cesar Jiménez ya la creciente bajó
Vamo′ a sacar la arena pa' ganarnos pa′l arroz
Ami Martínez, la vida vale la pena
Coge la pala en la mano, vamos a sacar la arena
José Mendoza ya la creciente bajó
Vamo' a sacar la arena pa' ganarnos pa′l arroz
Cuando el arroyo se crece, son cosas que yo lamento
Ay dicen mis compañeros es otro día que yo pierdo
Oye Oswalcito, la vida vale la pena
Coge la pala mami, vamos a sacar la arena
Ay Gabrielito, ya la creciente bajó
Vamo′ a sacar la arena pa' ganarnos pa′l arroz
Ay Toño Flores, la vida vale la pena
Coge la pala mami, vamos a sacar la arena
Pedro la Cruz, ya la creciente bajó
Vamo' a sacar la arena pa′ ganarnos pa'l arroz
¡Vamos compañeros del arroyo, carajo!
Damos un viajecito, tenemos un día ganado
Nos ganamos pa′ la yuca, pa' la carne y el pescado
Óyeme Gloria, la vida vale la pena
Coge la pala mami, vamos a sacar la arena
Óyeme Tami, ya la creciente bajó
Vamo' a sacar la arena pa′ ganarnos pa′l arroz
Julio Vallares, la vida vale la pena
Coge la pala mami, vamos a sacar la arena
Ay Luis Ramírez, ya la creciente bajó

En el barrio Palenquito, todos somos compañeros
Y vivimos del arroyo nosotros los areneros

Life is Worth It
When I came to Palenquito I saw life in a hole
I dedicated myself with my children to extract sand from the stream
Hey, my friend, life is worth it
Take the shovel in hand, let's extract the sand
Cesar Jiménez already lowered the water level
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
Ami Martínez, life is worth it
Take the shovel in hand, let's extract the sand
José Mendoza already lowered the water level
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
When the stream rises, it's something I regret
Oh, my companions say it's another day I lose
Hey Oswalcito, life is worth it
Take the shovel, let's extract the sand
Oh Gabrielito, the water level has dropped
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
Oh Toño Flores, life is worth it
Take the shovel, let's extract the sand
Pedro la Cruz, the water level has dropped
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
Let's go, companions of the stream, damn it!
We take a little trip, we have a day won
We earn for the cassava, for the meat and the fish
Listen to me Gloria, life is worth it
Take the shovel, let's extract the sand
Listen to me Tami, the water level has dropped
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
Julio Vallares, life is worth it
Take the shovel, let's extract the sand
Oh Luis Ramírez, the water level has dropped
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
In the Palenquito neighborhood, we are all companions
And we live from the stream, we are the sand extractors
Listen to me Enrique, life is worth it
Take the shovel, let's extract the sand
Let's go my children, the water level has dropped
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
Listen to me Librada, life is worth it
Take the shovel, let's extract the sand
Continue my children because life is beautiful
Keep extracting the sand, that doesn't harm us
Continue my children because life is beautiful
Keep extracting the sand, that doesn't harm us
Let's go my children, the water level has dropped
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
Let's go my children, the water level has dropped
Let's extract the sand to earn for the rice
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
My waist hurts, I can't walk
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
My waist hurts, I can't walk
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
My waist hurts, I can't walk
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
My waist hurts, I can't walk
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
My waist hurts, I can't walk
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
My waist hurts, I can't walk
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
My waist hurts, I can't walk
Oh Petronita, the sand is going to kill me
