El Carbonero (original)El Carbonero (translation)
Como cansado buey de carretero Like a tired ox
haciendo yunta con su propia vida making yoke with his own life
va tisnado de negro y cuesta arriba he is dressed in black and uphill
boceando su carbón el carbonero the charcoal burner mouthing his coal
Lento, sucio, sudado y cabizbajo Slow, dirty, sweaty and crestfallen
con su saco en la espalda with his sack on his back
que lo inclina that tilts it
el pobre carbonero así camina the poor charcoal burner walks like this
monumento viviente del trabajo. living monument of work.
Cada día menos gente lo utiliza Every day less people use it
sólo se habla hoy en día only spoken today
de gas y estufa gas and stove
y su vida futura muy difusa and his future life very fuzzy
por su roto zapato se desliza. by his broken shoe he slips.
A veces va cantando tonadillas Sometimes he goes singing songs
que escuchara en la radio that you heard on the radio
de algún cliente of some client
como cubriendo todo lo que siente like covering everything he feels
porque se le rompió su carretilla. because he broke his wheelbarrow.
Antes de que te vayas Carbonero Before you go Carbonero
en las blancas paredes de la vida on the white walls of life
escribe con carbón tu despedida write your farewell with charcoal
para que te recuerde el pueblo entero. so that the whole town remembers you.
Que a ti el progreso te causó una herida That progress caused you a wound
donde yacen tus cosas más queridas where your dearest things lie
cubiertas por el hombre y el dinero. covered by man and money.
Anjá! Anha!
Carbonero… carbonero… Chickadee... Chickadee...
Carbonero… Chickadee…
Antes de que te vayas Carbonero Before you go Carbonero
en las blancas paredes de la vida on the white walls of life
escribe con carbón tu despedida write your farewell with charcoal
para que te recuerde el pueblo entero. so that the whole town remembers you.
Que a ti el progreso te causó una herida That progress caused you a wound
donde yacen tus cosas más queridas where your dearest things lie
cubiertas por el hombre y el dinero. covered by man and money.
Anjá! Anha!
Carbón… carbonero!!! Charcoal… charcoal burner!!!
Carbonero… carbonero…Chickadee... Chickadee...
