Translation of the song lyrics Esquinazo Del Guerrillero (The Guerilla's Serenade) - Joan Baez

Esquinazo Del Guerrillero (The Guerilla's Serenade) (original)

Las cinco ya van a dar
Las cinco de la mañana
Abreme la puerta mi alma
Que he ganado una batalla
Que he ganado una batalla
Y herido ya el sol se asoma
Te busco en la madrugada
Dáme tu pecho, paloma
Dáme tu pecho‚ paloma
Sin olvidar bien amada
Flor que no se abre a su dueño
Se apaga en la madrugada
Al filo de un esquinazo
Como el lucero en tu almohada
Paloma y tú entre mis brazos
Palomita entre mis brazos
Punteando se viene el alba
Oye el rumor de las armas
Que ya suenan los balazos
Que ya suenan los balazos
Escucha lo que yo siento
No vuela la alondra en vano
Si en brazos la lleva el viento

(translation)

The five are already going to give
five o'clock in the morning
Open the door for me my soul
that I have won a battle
that I have won a battle
And already wounded the sun peeks out
I look for you at dawn
Give me your breast, dove
Give me your breast‚ dove
Without forgetting well loved
Flower that does not open to its owner
It turns off at dawn
On the edge of a corner
Like the star on your pillow
Paloma and you in my arms
Popcorn in my arms
Pointing the dawn comes
Hear the rumble of guns
That the bullets already sound
That the bullets already sound
listen to what i feel
The lark does not fly in vain
If the wind carries her in her arms
