La Carta(original) |
Me mandaron una carta |
Por el correo templano |
Y en esta carta me dice |
Que cayó prieso mi hermano |
Así lo tema con grillos |
Por las calles lo arrastraron, si |
La carta dice el motivo |
Que ha cometido Roberto |
Haber apoyado el paro |
Que ya se habia resuelto |
Si caso esto és el motivo |
Presa también voy sargiento, si |
Yo que me encuentro tán lejo |
Esperando la noticia |
Me viene decir en la carta |
Que en mi patria no hay justicia |
Los hambrientos piden el pan |
No molejan a la milicia, si |
Esta manera pomposa |
Queren consiervar su aciento |
Los de abanicos y de flaque |
Si tiener merecimiento |
Van y volver a la iglesia |
Y olvidan los mandamientos, si |
Habrase visto la insolecia |
Barbárie y alevosía |
De apresentar el trabuco |
Y matar a sangre fría |
Aquél piensar no tiene |
Con las dos manos vacía, si |
La carta que ha recebido |
Me pide contestación |
Yo pido que se propaguen |
Por toda la población |
Que León és un sanguinário |
En toda la generación, si |
Por suerte tengo guitarra |
Para llorar mí dolor |
También tengo nueve hermanos |
Fuera de él que se engrilló |
Todos son comunistas |
Con el favor de mí Diós, si |
(translation) |
they sent me a letter |
by early mail |
And in this letter he tells me |
That my brother fell prisoner |
So I fear it with crickets |
Through the streets they dragged him, yeah |
The letter says the reason |
What has Robert done? |
Having supported the strike |
That had already been resolved |
If this is the reason |
Dam I'm also sergeant, yes |
I am so far away |
waiting for the news |
It comes to tell me in the letter |
That in my country there is no justice |
The hungry ask for bread |
They don't bother the militia, yeah |
this pompous way |
They want to keep their seat |
Those with fans and flaque |
If you deserve |
They go and go back to church |
And they forget the commandments, yeah |
You would have seen the insolence |
Barbarism and treachery |
To present the blunderbuss |
And kill in cold blood |
That thinking does not have |
With both hands empty, yes |
The letter that he has received |
ask me for a reply |
I ask that they spread |
for the entire population |
That León is a bloodthirsty |
In the whole generation, yeah |
Luckily I have a guitar |
to cry my pain |
I also have nine brothers |
Outside of him who shackled |
they are all communists |
With the favor of my God, yes |
