Translation of the song lyrics El Violín De Becho - Mercedes Sosa

El Violín De Becho (original)

Becho toca el violin en la orquesta
Cara de chiquilin sin maestra
Y la orquesta no sirve no tiene
Mas que un solo violin que le duele
Porque a becho le duelen violines
Que son como su amor chiquilines
Becho quiere un violin que sea hombre
Que al dolor y al amor no los nombre
Becho tiene un violin que no ama
Pero siente que el violin lo llama
Por las noches como arrepentido
Vuelve a amar ese triste sonido
Mariposa marron de madera
Niño violin que se desespera
Cuando becho lo toca y se calma
Queda el violin sonando en su alma
Vida y muerte, violin, padre y madre
Canta el violin y becho es el aire
Ya no puede tocar en la orquesta
Porque amar y cantar eso cuesta

(translation)

Becho plays the violin in the orchestra
Face of a kid without a teacher
And the orchestra doesn't work, it doesn't have
More than a single violin that hurts
Because violins hurt him
That they are like your little love
Becho wants a violin that is a man
That pain and love do not name them
Becho has a violin that he doesn't love
But he feels that the violin calls him
At night as sorry
He loves that sad sound again
brown wooden butterfly
Violin boy who is desperate
When becho touches it and calms down
He leaves the violin playing in his soul
Life and death, violin, father and mother
The violin sings and becho is the air
He can no longer play in the orchestra
Because loving and singing that costs
