El Surco(original) |
Letra de «El Surco» |
Dentro de un surco abierto vi germinar |
Un lucero de infinita soledad |
Y con una canasta le vi regar |
Con agua de un arroyo de oscuridad |
Amalaya la siembra se echó a perder |
Y el agua del arroyo se echó a correr |
Al lucero le gusta la libertad |
Y al agua del arroyo la claridad |
No dio fruto el lucero, se fue a alumbrar |
Y el agua del arroyo fue a cuidar |
En una hora triste quise cantar |
Y dentro de mi canto quise gritar |
Y dentro de mi grito quise llorar |
Pero tan solo canto para callar |
Amalaya la hora en que fui a cantar |
Amalaya la hora en que fui a gritar |
Si gritando se llora para callar |
Y mi vaso sediento no llega al mar |
Amalaya la hora en que fui a cantar |
Amalaya la hora en que fui a gritar |
Y así se fue el lucero a su libertad |
Y así se fue el arroyo a su claridad |
No me llegó la hora de clarinar |
No me llegó la hora de clarinar |
De clarinar |
De clarinar |
(translation) |
"El Surco" lyrics |
Inside an open furrow I saw germinate |
A star of infinite loneliness |
And with a basket I saw him water |
With water from a stream of darkness |
Amalaya the sowing was spoiled |
And the water of the stream began to run |
Lucero likes freedom |
And to the water of the stream the clarity |
The star did not bear fruit, it went to light |
And the water of the stream went to take care |
In a sad hour I wanted to sing |
And within my song I wanted to shout |
And within my scream I wanted to cry |
But I only sing to shut up |
Amalaya the time I went to sing |
Amalaya the time I went to scream |
If yelling you cry to shut up |
And my thirsty glass does not reach the sea |
Amalaya the time I went to sing |
Amalaya the time I went to scream |
And so the star went to his freedom |
And so the stream went to its clarity |
The time has not come for me to clarify |
The time has not come for me to clarify |
to clarify |
to clarify |
