Translation

Cuando acabé mi condena

When I finished my sentence

Cuando acabé mi condena

When I finished my sentence

Me vi muy solo y perdí'o

I found myself very alone and lost


Ella se murió de pena

She died of sorrow

Y yo, que la culpa he si'o

And I, who have been to blame

Sé que murió siendo buena

I know she died being good

Ella se murió de pena

She died of sorrow

Y yo, que la culpa he si'o

And I, who have been to blame

Sé que murió siendo buena

I know she died being good


La enterraron por la tarde

They buried her in the afternoon

A la hija de Juan Simón

The daughter of Juan Simón

Y era Simón en el pueblo

And it was Simón in the town

Y era Simón en el pueblo

And it was Simón in the town

El único enterra'or

The only gravedigger


Y como en una mano llevaba la pala

And as in one hand he carried the shovel

Y en el hombro el azadón

And on his shoulder the pickaxe

Todos le preguntaban

Everyone asked him

Y todos le preguntaban:

And everyone asked him:

¿De dónde vienes, Juan Simón?

Where are you from, Juan Simón?


Soy enterra'or, y vengo

I'm a gravedigger, and I come

Soy enterra'or, y vengo

I'm a gravedigger, and I come

De enterrar a mi corazón

To bury my heart
