El Lazo (original)El Lazo (translation)
Cuando el sol se inclinaba when the sun went down
Lo encontré I found it
En un rancho sombrío In a gloomy ranch
De Lonquén From Lonquen
En un rancho de pobres On a poor ranch
Lo encontré I found it
Cuando el sol se inclinaba when the sun went down
En Lonquén in Lonquen
Sus manos siendo tan viejas His hands being so old
Eran fuertes pa' trenzar They were strong to braid
Eran rudas y eran tiernas They were rough and they were tender
Con el cuero 'el animal With the leather 'the animal
El lazo como serpiente The loop as a snake
Se enroscaba en el nogal He curled up in the walnut tree
Y en cada lazo la huella And in each bond the footprint
De su vida y de su pan Of his life of him and of his bread
Cuánto tiempo hay en sus manos How much time is on your hands
Y en su apagado mirar And in his dull look
Y nadie ha dicho: está bueno And no one has said: he is hot
Ya no debes trabajar you no longer have to work
Las sombras vienen laceando The shadows come languishing
La ultima luz del día the last light of day
El viejo trenza unos versos The old man braids some verses
Pa' maniatar la alegría Pa' handcuff the joy
Sus lazos han recorrido His ties have traveled
Sur y norte, cerro y mar South and north, hill and sea
Pero el viejo la distancia But the old the distance
Nunca la supo explicar He never knew how to explain it
Su vida deja en los lazos His life leaves him in ties
Aferrados al nogal clinging to the walnut
Después llegará la muerte Then death will come
Y también lo laceará And he will lace it too
Qué importa si el lazo es firme What does it matter if the bond is firm
Y dura la eternidad and lasts eternity
Laceando por algún campo lacing through some field
El viejo descansará the old will rest
Cuando el sol se inclinaba when the sun went down
Lo encontré I found it
En un rancho sombrío In a gloomy ranch
De Lonquén From Lonquen
En un rancho de pobres On a poor ranch
Lo encontré I found it
Cuando el sol se inclinaba when the sun went down
En Lonquénin Lonquen
