Las manos de Fermín

The hands of Fermín

Giran y él también

They spin, and he does too

Gira y da más vueltas

He spins and takes more turns


Pobrecito Fermín

Poor Fermín

Quiere ser feliz

Wants to be happy

Gira y da más vueltas

He spins and takes more turns


En el hospicio le darán

In the hospice, they will give him

Agua, sol y pan

Water, sun, and bread

Y un ave que guarde su nombre

And a bird that will keep his name


En el hospicio ha de morir

In the hospice, he will die

Y antes de callar

And before being silent

El ave vendrá desde el mar

The bird will come from the sea

Lo llevará hasta la mar

It will take him to the sea


Hoy tus sueños, Fermín

Today your dreams, Fermín

Saben a aserrín

Taste like sawdust

Giran y dan vueltas

They spin and turn


Hoy tu tristeza al sol

Today your sadness in the sun

Quiere ser real

Wants to be real

Aunque no lo creas

Even if you don't believe it


En el hospicio le darán

Agua, sol y pan

Y un ave que guarde

And a bird that will keep

Su nombre

En el hospicio le dirán

Pronto ha de morir

Soon he will die

La noche izará su final

The night will hoist its end

De gotera

With a leak


Y el ave aquel, lo llevará

And that bird, it will take him


Fermín se fue a la vida, no sé cuando vendrá

Fermín went into life, I don't know when he will come
