The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Violín De Becho" by Alfredo Zitarrosa.
Lyrics
Becho toca el violin en la orquesta
Cara de chiquilin sin maestra
Y la orquesta no sirve no tiene
Mas que un solo violin que le duele
Porque a becho le duelen violines
Que son como su amor chiquilines
Becho quiere un violin que sea hombre
Que al dolor y al amor no los nombre
Becho tiene un violin que no ama
Pero siente que el violin lo llama
Por las noches como arrepentido
Vuelve a amar ese triste sonido
Mariposa marron de madera
Niño violin que se desespera
Cuando becho lo toca y se calma
Queda el violin sonando en su alma
Vida y muerte, violin, padre y madre
Canta el violin y becho es el aire
Ya no puede tocar en la orquesta
Porque amar y cantar eso cuesta
Lyrics translation
Becho plays the violin in the orchestra
Little girl's face without a teacher
And the orchestra doesn't serve it doesn't have
More than a single violin that hurts
Because becho has violins that hurt
Who are like your love little ones
Becho wants a violin that's a man
That I don't name pain and love
Becho has a violin he doesn't love
But he feels that the violin calls him
At night as repentant
Love that sad sound again
Wooden brown butterfly
Violin boy who despairs
When becho touches it and calms down
The violin is still playing in his soul
Life and death, violin, father and mother
Sing the violin and becho is the air
He can no longer play in the orchestra
Because it costs to love and sing
