Carretón(original) |
Letra de ''Carretón'' |
Carretón, coche en mis juegos |
Con látigos de papel |
Y una piedra de corcel |
Tiraba en riendas de fuegos |
Carretón, carreta luego |
De andar triste y oxidado |
Se hizo trabajo pesado |
De mis hermanos mayores |
Y al centro de los dolores |
Iba mi padre sentado |
Niño apenas le miraba |
Irse, mas cuando volvía |
Venía callado ante el día |
Tras de su yegua cansada |
Calle San Juan, por tu grava |
Cuántas huellas de pobreza |
Fueron vendiendo dureza |
De la suerte de mi padre |
Para entregarle a mi madre |
Un bocado de tristeza |
Veo tus manos aún fuertes |
Triunfal del tiempo emergiendo |
Y tus arrugas sonriendo |
Detrás de tu vieja muerte |
Cuánto diera por tenerte |
Aquí, que hoy todos son dueños |
Este hoy que suma empeños |
Del sudor de tus camisas |
Cuando brindamos sonrisas |
En carretones de sueños |
(translation) |
"Carreton" lyrics |
Cart, car in my games |
With paper whips |
And a steed stone |
Pulled on fire reins |
Cart, cart later |
Of walking sad and rusty |
Heavy work was done |
of my older brothers |
And to the center of pain |
my father was sitting |
Boy barely looked at him |
Go away, but when he came back |
He came silent before the day |
After his tired mare |
San Juan Street, for your gravel |
How many traces of poverty |
They were selling hardness |
From the luck of my father |
To give to my mother |
a bite of sadness |
I see your hands still strong |
Triumphant of time emerging |
And your wrinkles smiling |
Behind your old death |
How much would I give to have you |
Here, that today everyone owns |
This today that adds efforts |
From the sweat of your shirts |
when we bring smiles |
In carts of dreams |
