La Saeta(original) |
| Dijo una voz popular: |
| ¿Quién me presta una escalera |
| Para subir al madero |
| Para quitarle los clavos |
| A Jesús el Nazareno? |
| Oh, la saeta, el cantar |
| Al Cristo de los gitanos |
| Siempre con sangre en las manos |
| Siempre por desenclavar |
| Cantar del pueblo andaluz |
| Que todas las primaveras |
| Anda pidiendo escaleras |
| Para subir a la cruz |
| Cantar de la tierra mía |
| Que echa flores |
| Al Jesús de la agonía |
| Y es la fe de mis mayores |
| ¡Oh, no eres tú mi cantar |
| No puedo cantar, ni quiero |
| A este Jesús del madero |
| Sino al que anduvo en la mar! |
| ¡Oh, no eres tú mi cantar |
| No puedo cantar, ni quiero |
| A este Jesús del madero |
| Sino al que anduvo en la mar! |
| ¡Oh, no eres tú mi cantar |
| No puedo cantar, ni quiero |
| A este Jesús del madero |
| Sino al que anduvo en la mar! |
| ¡Oh, no eres tú mi cantar! |
| (translation) |
| Said a popular voice: |
| Who lends me a ladder |
| to climb the tree |
| To remove the nails |
| To Jesus the Nazarene? |
| Oh, the saeta, the singing |
| To the Christ of the gypsies |
| Always with blood on your hands |
| Always to unlock |
| Song of the Andalusian people |
| that every spring |
| You are asking for stairs |
| to climb the cross |
| Sing of my land |
| who throws flowers |
| To the Jesus of the agony |
| And it is the faith of my elders |
| Oh, aren't you my song |
| I can't sing, nor do I want to |
| To this Jesus of the tree |
| But the one who walked in the sea! |
| Oh, aren't you my song |
| I can't sing, nor do I want to |
| To this Jesus of the tree |
| But the one who walked in the sea! |
| Oh, aren't you my song |
| I can't sing, nor do I want to |
| To this Jesus of the tree |
| But the one who walked in the sea! |
| Oh, aren't you my song! |
