Lyrics of Jacinto Cenobio - Guadalupe Pineda

Jacinto Cenobio (original)

Y en la capital
Lo halle en un mercado
Con su mecapal
Descargando un carro
Le dije: 'padrino, le andaba buscando'
Se echo un trago’e vino
Y se quedo pensando
Me dijo: 'un favor vo’a pedirle ahija’o
Que a naiden le cuente que me ha encontra’o
Que yo ya no quero volver pa’lla
Al fin ya no tengo ni’onde llegar
Murio su madrina la trenida
Los hijos crecieron ¿y adonde estan?
La cosecha, queme el jacal
Sin lo que mas quero nada es igual…'
'sin lo que mas quero ya nada es igual
Cobija y sombrero seran mi hogar
Por eso mi ahija’o regrese en paz
Y a naiden le cuente que estoy aca'
Quedamos de acuerdo
Lo deje tomando
Yo encendi un recuerdo
Y me lo fui fumando
Me parecio verlo en su verde monte
Sonriendole al viento y al horizonte
Haciendo una mueca pa' ver pasar
La mancha de garzas rumbo al palmar
Jacinto cenobio, jacinto adan
Si en tu paraiso solo habia paz
Yo no se que culpa quieres pagar
Aqui en el infierno de la ciudad

(translation)

and in the capital
I found it in a market
With his mecapal
unloading a cart
I told him: 'godfather, I was looking for you'
I took a drink of wine
And I keep thinking
He told me: 'I'm going to ask you for a favor
Tell no one that he has found me
That I no longer want to go back to pa'lla
At last I have nowhere to go
His godmother the trenida died
The children grew up and where are they?
The harvest, burn the jacal
Without what I want most, nothing is the same…'
'without what I want most, nothing is the same
Blanket and hat will be my home
That's why my daughter came back in peace
And tell naiden that I'm here
We agreed
I let him drink
I lit a memory
And I was smoking it
I thought I saw him on his green mountain
Smiling at the wind and at the horizon
Making a face to see pass
The spot of herons heading to the palm grove
hyacinth cenobio, hyacinth adan
If in your paradise there was only peace
I don't know what guilt you want to pay
Here in the hell of the city
