Lyrics

Translation

Ando llorando pa' adentro,

Walking and crying inside,

aunque me ría pa' afuera

even though I laugh on the outside,

así tengo yo que vivir

that's how I have to live,

esperando a que me muera.

waiting for my death.


Le doy ventaja a los vientos,

I give advantage to the winds,

porque no puedo yo volar

because I can't fly,

hasta que agarro mi caja

until I grab my box

y la empiezo a bagualear.

and start playing it.


Mi raza reza que pedirá,

My race prays what it will ask,

allá en el monte de caridad

there in the mountain of charity,

no tiene tiempo ya no da mas

no time left, can't take it anymore,

reza que reza porque será.

prays and prays, why will it be?


Valles sonoros de pedregal,

Resonant valleys of rocky terrain,

piedra por piedra el viento va,

stone by stone, the wind goes,

borrando huellas a mi dolor

erasing traces of my pain,

silencio puro es mi corazón.

pure silence is my heart.


Me persigno por si acaso,

I cross myself just in case,

no vaya ser dios exista

in case God exists,

y me lleve pal infierno

and takes me to hell

con todas mis ovejitas.

with all my little sheep.


No se si habrá otro mundo,

I don't know if there's another world,

donde las almas suspiran

where souls sigh,

yo vivo sobre la tierra

I live on the earth,

trajinando todo el día.

busy all day.
