Pitán - Pitán
Very close to your docks
where Soledad lives,
a very early man
gets up to work,
he drinks the light coffee
so that he can reach,
he gives the old woman a kiss,
he consigns himself at the altar.
And he leaves and he leaves
and he goes fishing,
with his canalete
he dresses in immensity.
And Sunday dawned,
the city woke up,
he was a man with fortune,
who went to church to pray,
he gave thanks for what had been
also for what it will be
and he asks for his team
which will play in the afternoon.
And he goes and goes
he is going to sing
and in blue and red
his dream of him repaints.
And he goes and goes
and he is going to scream
PescaÃto plays
Soledad's son.
Sing in the stadium
if you team is winning
and if it is losing,
you better keep singing.
The siren sounds,
banana cyclone blows,
my Magdalena Union
you know what I love you so much.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
the drummers play.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
the game is beginning
Pitán, pitán, pitán
those leathers are ringing.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
how happy my people are.
The guajira bar
there in general shadow,
with the Cienagueros
playing the pitán - pitán.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
the drummers play.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
accompanying the game.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
it is sung by the pipers.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
how happy my people are.
Hat, hat
take off your hat.
Hat, hat
take off your hat.
If you don't take it off
I'll throw it on the ground.
If you don't take it off
I'll throw it on the ground.
I bring you nice,
shrimp from the bar,
I bring fresh saw
with the smooth one and the mojarra.
I have red snapper,
fish from this morning,
if you don't buy it for me,
let your sister buy it for me.
Pitán, pitá n, python
last night I had a dream.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
we were small.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
and there were the grandparents.
Pitán, pitán, pitán
how happy my people were.
