Lyrics of Yo No Vendo, Yo No Compro - Facundo Cabral

Yo No Vendo, Yo No Compro (original)

No me importa tu fusil
Ni el cañon de tu enemigo
Dos males no significa
Un bien en ningun sentido
No se leer, ni se escribir
Pero atención yo se mi
Y de Tandil yo se
Que mas pedir
Yo no vendo, yo no compro
Yo no cambio, yo no estorbo
Yo no presto, yo no escondo
Y por eso soy feliz
El hombre no sabe nada
Solo el tiempo es testigo
El hombre solo camina
El tiempo es el camino
Nunca pense a donde voy
Pero atención se donde estoy
Conozco el sol y una cancion
Para mi ya no hay rebaño
Por lo tanto no hay pastor
Para mi ya no hay esclavos
Por lo tanto no hay patròn
No se sumar, ni se restar
Pero atención conozco el mar
Y a una mujer conozco
Para que mas

(translation)

I don't care about your rifle
Not even your enemy's cannon
Two evils does not mean
A good in any sense
I don't know how to read, nor do I know how to write
But pay attention I know my
And from Tandil I know
what more to ask
I don't sell, I don't buy
I don't change, I don't get in the way
I do not lend, I do not hide
And that's why I'm happy
The man knows nothing
Only time is witness
The man just walks
time is the way
I never thought where I'm going
But pay attention I know where I am
I know the sun and a song
For me there is no herd
Therefore there is no shepherd
For me there are no longer slaves
Therefore there is no pattern
I don't know how to add, nor do I know how to subtract
But attention I know the sea
And a woman I know
Why else?
