| El alfarero (original) | El alfarero (translation) |
|---|---|
| Fatigas grandes pasé | I went through great fatigues |
| Con lo que yo te he querío | With what I have loved you |
| Te tengo que aborrecer | I have to hate you |
| Como revienta un cañón | How does a cannon burst? |
| A fuerzas de darle golpes | By force of beating him |
| Así voy a reventar yo | That's how I'm going to burst |
| El día que yo te coja | The day that I catch you |
| Te voy a cantar las cuarenta | I'm going to sing you the forty |
| Tienes muy mala lengua | you have a very bad tongue |
| Y tó lo que dices te lo inventas | And everything you say you make it up |
| Quiero que me formes | I want you to train me |
| Como el alfarero | like the potter |
| Hazme como quieras | make me what you want |
| Conforma tus deseos | conform your desires |
| Y diséñame, mi amor | And design me, my love |
| A tu modelo; | to your model; |
| Tú eres la gran artista | you are the great artist |
| Y yo barro sin precio | And I mud without price |
| Hay muchos defectos | there are many flaws |
| Roturas por dentro | breaks inside |
| Que causan en mi vida | What cause in my life |
| Tristezas y lamentos; | Sadness and regrets; |
| Es mi cuerpo inservible | It is my useless body |
| Y ya no hay nada bueno | And there's nothing good anymore |
| Necesito tu mano | i need your hand |
| Que forme, te lo ruego | What form, I beg you |
| No hay que me guste más | There's nothing I like more |
| Que caminar por los caminos | Than walk the roads |
| Con la luna de graná | With the graná moon |
| Que te quiero y tú no lo sabes | That I love you and you don't know it |
| La culpa tienes de todos mis males | You are to blame for all my ills |
