le pregunto si ha visto a Miguel Canales (bis)
I ask him if he has seen Miguel Canales
Dicen que en la montaña está perdido
They say that he is lost in the mountain
que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale (bis)
That he hasn't come out for quite sometime
De su vida, de su vida, no se sabe

porque Migue, en la montaña está perdido (bis)
Because Miguel, in the mountain is lost
Dicen que tiene barba como un padre

dicen que tiene el pelo como un indio (bis)
They say he has indian hair
Ay! que le estará pasando al pobre Migue
Oh! what could it be happening to the poor Migue
que tiene mucho tiempo que no sale (bis)
That he hasn't come out for quite sometime
Apuesto a que si sabe que Yo vine
I bet that if he knows that I came by
de la motaña sale el pobre Migue
From the mountain poor Migue will come
decíle que lo espero aquí en la Paz
Tell him that I'll wait for him here in La Paz

Cuando sigo, cuando sigo preguntando
As I ask, as I ask
me dicen que no tiene cuando venir (bis)
They tell me that he has no return
Porque se ha convertido en hermitaño
Beacuse he's become a hermit
de la montaña no quiere salir (bis)

Me le dicen, me le dicen a Miguel
Tell him for me, tell Miguel for me
que se deje, que se deje ver la cara (bis)
that he should show, should show his face
Qué si no viene aquí, yo voy por él
That if he doesn't come I will go for him
antes que se lo trague la montaña.(bis)
Before the mountain sollows him up
Que le estará pasando al pobre Migue
