GUILLER Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya es de madrugada me voy a pescar
Dale un beso a mis niños adios amor
Y si el destino a mi me juega mal
Si la mar a mi me mata y no regreso a mi hogar
Dile dile a los niños ya viene papa
Sentado en su barca el se fue a pescar
Desafiando tormentas el regresara
Nunca nunca les digas que no voy a regresar

Soy pescador que por el mundo
Sigo sigo mi camino
Sin saber que algun dia he de volver
No les digas a los niños que papa no volvera
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor

Soy pescador que por el mundo
Sigo sigo mi camino
Sin saber que algun dia he de volver
No les digas a los niños que papa no volvera
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor

Ya es de madrugada me voy a pescar
Dale un beso a mis niños adios amor
Y si el destino a mi me juega mal
Si la mar a mi me mata y no regreso a mi hogar
Dile dile a los niños ya viene papa
Sentado en su barca el se fue a pescar
Desafiando tormentas el regresara
Nunca nunca les digas que no voy a regresar

Soy pescador que por el mundo
Sigo sigo mi camino
Sin saber que algun dia he de volver
No les digas a los niños que papa no volvera
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor

Soy pescador que por el mundo
Sigo sigo mi camino
Sin saber que algun dia he de volver
No les digas a los niños que papa no volvera
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor

Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor
Dame un beso ya regreso mi amor

Overall Meaning

In "El Pescador," Guillermo "Guiller" Aguiles sings about the life of a fisherman who goes out to sea before dawn, leaving his children behind. He asks his partner to kiss his children goodbye and tell them that he will return. The fisherman acknowledges that fate can turn against him, and the sea can be treacherous, but he assures his loved ones that he will come back to them. He tells them not to make the mistake of thinking he will not return. He is a fisherman who travels the world, following his path without knowing when or if he will come back. The song is a tribute to the fishermen who put their lives at risk to provide for their families, and it also reflects on the sacrifices and hope inherent in this way of life.

The lyrics of "El Pescador" convey a sense of the danger and uncertainty of a fisherman's life but also the love and hope that sustain him.
