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 |
