Marinero Quiero Madre
Marinero quiero madre
pero no de la sardina
que para morir de fame
ya me basto yo solina
a los doce de la mañana
a tu puerta ha de llamar
pa que te vengas conmigo
a la costa a navegar
Sonaron campanas y oyose cantar
Que lleves en esa falda qe tanto vuelu le das
llevo roses y claveles para el cristo de Candas
Adios padre y adios madre
que me voy para la habana
tengo de volver a veros
si la muerte no me llama
cuando salí de la aldea
volví la cara llorando
adiós Asturias del alma
que lejos te vas quedando
adiós Asturias del alma
que lejos te vas quedando
Sonaron campanas y oyose cantar
Que lleves en esa falda que tanto vuelu le das
llevo roses y claveles para el cristo de Candas
Sailor I Want Mother
Sailor I want mother
but not from the sardine
because to die of hunger
I have enough on my own
at twelve in the morning
at your door I will knock
so you come with me
to sail the coast
Bells rang and singing was heard
Carrying in that skirt that you give so much flight
taking roses and carnations for the Christ of Candas
Goodbye father and goodbye mother
I'm going to Havana
I have to come back to see you
if death doesn't call me
when I left the village
I turned my face crying
goodbye Asturias of the soul
you are getting far away
farewell Asturias of the soul
you are getting far away
Bells rang and singing was heard
Carrying in that skirt that you give so much flight
taking roses and carnations for the Christ of Candas
