Translation of the song lyrics Amílcar - Pablo Milanés

Amílcar (original)

Amílcar pintor y amigo
Voz que no pude escuchar
Tu rostro se me ha perdido, caramba
Sin poderlo recordar
Dicen que tu trazo firme
Tus pasos firmes también
Te ganaron mil hermanos, caramba
Cuando te hacías querer
Diecisiete primaveras
Sin poderte contener
Se volcaron en la muerte, caramba
Que no te sabrá tener
Amílcar yo no te lloro
Te llora quien sé querer
Llora conmigo y no olvida, caramba
Por eso lloro también

Amílcar (translation)

Amílcar painter and friend
Voice I couldn't hear
Your face has been lost to me, gosh
without being able to remember
They say that your firm line
your firm steps too
They beat you a thousand brothers, gosh
when you made yourself loved
seventeen springs
without being able to contain you
They flipped into death, gosh
That he won't know how to have you
Amílcar I do not cry for you
Who I know how to love cries for you
Cry with me and don't forget, gosh
That's why I cry too
