Song language: Spanish
Cantor del obraje(original) |
| Los sábados al obraje |
| Solito por las picadas |
| El guitarrero Juan Ponce |
| Como sin querer llegaba |
| Los hacheros en la noche |
| Alegres porque él les canta |
| Se ríen de a pedacito |
| Igual que brasa soplada |
| Cuando Juan Ponce |
| Larga en el monte, su voz pastosa |
| El hacha de la luna se derrama |
| Hoja por hoja |
| Sus zambas floridas |
| Y sus ojos se le empañan |
| Cuando recuerda mujeres |
| Se le endulzan las distancias |
| Cantor pobre de los montes |
| Borracho en las madrugadas |
| La guitarra con su sombra |
| Lo llevan crucificado |
| (translation) |
| On Saturdays at work |
| Alone for the bites |
| The guitar player Juan Ponce |
| as inadvertently it came |
| The axemen at night |
| Happy because he sings to them |
| They laugh bit by bit |
| Just like blown embers |
| When John Ponce |
| Long in the bush, his doughy voice |
| The moon ax spills |
| sheet by sheet |
| Their flowery zambas |
| And his eyes are cloudy |
| When he remembers women |
| distances are sweetened |
| Poor singer of the mountains |
| drunk in the early morning |
| The guitar with its shadow |
| They carry him crucified |
