En La Barra
Joan Sebastian
Lyrics
Translation
En la barra de vieja cantina
In the old bar of the cantina
Hay un hombre tomando licor
There's a man drinking liquor
Me pregunto si tiene una pena
I wonder if he has a sorrow
O una desilucion con su amor
Or a disappointment with his love
Le pregunto la copa se empina
I ask, as the glass is lifted
Y contesta aquel triste señor
And that sad man answers
Se piensa casar
He's thinking of getting married
Que sea feliz
Wishing for happiness
De veras que sea dichosa
Truly wishing for joy
Se casa con el
He's marrying
Destino tan cruel
This cruel destiny
Es mi amor
It's my love
Será su esposa
Who will be his wife
Y en la barra de vieja cantina
And in the old bar of the cantina
Hay un hombre muriendo de amor
There's a man dying of love
En la torre de blanca capilla
In the tower of the white chapel
Las campanas un día anunciaran
The bells will one day announce
La alegría de un boda de pueblo
The joy of a village wedding
Las campanas una día doblaran
The bells will one day toll
Cuando acabe aquel pobre diablo
When that poor devil
Con su pena se que doblaran
Ends his sorrow, I know they'll toll
Se piensa casar
He's thinking of getting married
Que sea feliz
Wishing for happiness
De veras que sea dichosa
Truly wishing for joy
Se casa con el
He's marrying
Destino tan cruel
This cruel destiny
Es mi amor
It's my love
Será su esposa
Who will be his wife
Y en la barra de vieja cantina
And in the old bar of the cantina
Hay un hombre muriendo de amor
There's a man dying of love
