Al pasar la barca me dijo el barquero:
“las niñas bonitas no pagan dinero”
Al volver la barca me volvió a decir:
“las niñas bonitas no pagan aquí.”
“Yo no soy bonita ni lo quiero ser.
Yo pago dinero como otra mujer.”
When The Boat Was Leaving
(Translated by Paola Ferate-Soto.)
When the boat was leaving
The boatman told me
“Pretty girls don’t have to pay.”
When the boat came back
He told me again:
“Pretty girls, don’t pay here.”
“I am not beautiful, nor do I want to be.”
“I pay my fare, like any other woman does.”
