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