Atrás Queda el Pueblo(original) |
Con un saco viejo, dos tristes monedas y un rezo en las labios |
Salí una mañana con ojos de niño, abiertos los brazos |
Atrás queda el pueblo, la niña morena y los sueños frustrados |
Delante caminos, caminos inciertos, caminos amargos |
El viejo francisco recita consejos, me extiende su mano |
El cura felipe bendice mi frente y le beso la mano |
Repican campanas, ya están las beatas moviendo los labios |
Me han prometido velar mi camino rezando rosarios |
Hay un silencio que rompen los gritos de un niño llorando |
Y todo el mundo del pobre al alcalde me estrecha la mano |
La abuela solloza, abuelo se crece y le tiemblan los labios |
El tren ha partido y el humo envuelve mi pueblo lejano |
(translation) |
With an old sack, two sad coins and a prayer on his lips |
I went out one morning with the eyes of a child, arms open |
Gone is the town, the dark-haired girl and the frustrated dreams |
Roads ahead, uncertain roads, bitter roads |
Old Francisco recites advice, he extends his hand to me |
The priest Felipe blesses my forehead and I kiss his hand |
Bells are ringing, the pious are already moving their lips |
They have promised me to watch my way by praying rosaries |
There is a silence broken by the screams of a crying child |
And everyone from the poor man to the mayor shakes my hand |
Grandma sobs, Grandpa grows up and his lips tremble |
The train has left and the smoke envelops my distant town |
