Bohío Lyrics in English Vicente Garcia
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bohío by Vicente Garcia from Spanish to English.
Es más oscuro cuando ya va hacerse claro
It's darker when it's about to get light
Cuando la luna se hace polvo y no tengo
When the moon turns to dust and I don't have
Tu mano
Your hand
Cuando el salitre sube por el malecón
When the sea spray rises along the boardwalk
Despierta el sol, duermen las luces de neón
The sun wakes, the neon lights sleep
Que extraño
How I miss
Quiero volver
I want to return
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Sin mi vegique me siento desamparado
Without my vegique I feel helpless
No veo la hamaca en la que te mecías a
I don't see the hammock where you swayed to
Mi lado
My side
Que le paso a la gente que ahora vive aquí
What happened to the people who now live here
Que no parecen ni araguaco y macori
Who don't even look like Arawak and Macorix
Qué extrañó
How I miss
Quiero volver
I want to return
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
A tu bohío
To your bohío
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
A mi bohío, oh
To my bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh oh oh oh oh
To the bohío, oh oh oh oh oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
Al bohío, oh
To the bohío, oh
