Lamento Borincano

Sale loco de contento con su cargamento para la ciudad, ¡ay! para la ciudad
Lleva en su pensamiento todo un mundo lleno de felicidad, sí, de felicidad
Piensa remediar la situación del hogar que es toda su ilusión.
 
Y alegre el jibarito va pensando así, diciendo así, cantando así, por el camino
Si yo vendo la carga mi dios querido un traje a mi viejita le voy a comprar
 
Y alegre también su yegua va al presentir
Que su cantar es todo un himno de alegría
En esto le sorprende la luz del día
Y llegan al mercado de la ciudad
 
Pasa la mañana entera sin que nadie quiera
Su carga comprar, ¡ay! su carga comprar
Todo, todo esta desierto, el pueblo
Está muerto de necesidad, ¡ay! de necesidad
 
Se oyen los lamentos por doquier
En mi desdichada Borinquén, sí
Y triste el jibarito va pensando así, diciendo así
Llorando así por el camino
Qué será de Borinquén mi Dios querido
Que será de mis hijos y de mi hogar
 
Borinquén la tierra del Edén
Y que al cantar el gran Gautier
Llamó la perla de los mares
Ahora que te mueres con tus pesares
Déjame que te cante yo también.

Puertorican Lament

He sets out deliriously happy with his cargo for the city, ah, for the city
he carries in his mind a whole world full of happiness, yes, of happiness
he thinks of remedying his home's situation that is his one dream.
 
And cheerful the hillbilly goes on thinking this, saying this, singing this along the way
If I sell my wares, dear God, I'm going to buy a dress for my old lady
 
And his mare goes on also cheerful
knowing well that this singing is totally a hymn of joy
like this daylight took them by surprise
and they arrive at the city market
 
The whole morning goes by without anyone wanting
to buy his wares, ah, buy his wares
everything, everything's deserted, the people
are dying with needs, ah, with needs
 
Their laments are heard everywhere
in my poor Puerto Rico, yes!
And wistful the hillbilly goes on thinking this, saying this,
crying this along the way
What will become of Puerto Rico dear God
What will happen to my children and my home
 
Puerto Rico land of Eden
and sung to by the great Gautier1
called the pearl of the seas
now that you're dying in your sorrows
let me sing to you too.

¡Bonita version, con tu espíritu poético y alarde de vocabulaio! Gracias, Evan.

Una duda, y una sugerencia:
En el tercer verso, "su ilusion" no creo que sea "fantasy" sinó "his main interest and hope".
Quinta estrofa - "His laments" s.b. "their laments", in reference to the previous subject "the people" (The whole Borinquen is lamenting).

Thank you Rosa corrected, it's hard for me to capture the full meaning of ilusión and I thought of him fantasising about a better tomorrow

I was told that, in English, 'illusion" had to do only with fantasy while, in Spanish, could be "to have hope, a great desire, or dreams". Maybe he does daydream, however, he is going to town to see his dream come true.

I gave you the idea but, maybe, you should express it in your own, more romantic way, without "his main concern) like "his entire/total/sublime hope" (?)

I think there should be a note about "el gran Gautier". I made this suggestion when cm. translated it, but there was no reaction.
