El Navegante
El Puma De Sinaloa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A una indita muy linda encontre
Que vendia ramilletes de flores
Recorriendo las vias del tren
Y encantado de aquella morena
Le compre un ramito para mi
Al poner la moneda en su mano
"Ay, indita que vendes tus flores
No le vendas a nadie por Dios
Y al calor de un hornito de trolla
Tu de todas, la mas linda flor"
(Ay, indita!)
Pero el tiempo y las horas de vuelta
A esos rumbos me hicieron volver
Yo busque en la estacion a la indita
Pero en cambio, a ella no la encontre
Hasta que una senora, ya anciana
Mis tristezas desiaba saber
Me entrego un ramillete marchito
Y me dijo, "aqui esta, su merced"
La que viene buscando esta muerta
Y al partir este ramo dejo
"Se la entrega al senor pasajero,
Que en mi vida fue mi unico amor"
The song El Navegante by El Puma De Sinaloa narrates an encounter with a beautiful indigenous girl who was selling bouquets of flowers while traveling on a southern train. The singer was fascinated by her and bought a bouquet from her. As he was giving her the coins, he tells her not to sell her flowers to anyone else and compliments her for being the most beautiful flower of them all. However, when he returns to the same place, he cannot find the woman. Instead, an elderly woman hands him a wilted bouquet and tells him to keep it. She reveals that the indigenous girl he was looking for had died, but before her death, she had left the bouquet to be given to a certain passenger who was her only love.
The song El Navegante tells a story of love and loss, highlighting the fleeting nature of human relationships. It showcases how people come and go like ships passing through the night, and how sometimes, we never get to say our goodbyes properly. The song also touches on the issue of social inequality, with the singer being a passenger on the train while the indigenous girl is selling flowers for a living.
