Lyrics
Un hombre tena una piedra
y en ella estaba sentado,
era un sujeto ambicioso
y se dira que reservado.
Y el hombre tena su piedra
y era suya y nada ms…
-que se consigan su propia piedra
todos los dems.
Dijo y volte para atrs.
Este hombre se haba
pasado tardes enteras
sentado en el lomo de la piedra.
Una piedra grande y vieja
que hace mucho mucho tiempo
haba ocupado un alto sitio,
abarcando una amplia zona
donde todo era bonito.
Y el hombre
deca que suyo era
lo que se haba encontrado,
y lo protega y guardaba
ms tiempo del necesario.
Pero a cambio bien vala
sacrificar comodidad,
por el indeseable gusto
de guardar su propiedad.
Pas el tiempo, algunos aos,
y el hombre segua sentado
algo aburrido, pero firme.
-que se me tuerza la espalda
si me levanto para irme.
Dijo y continu sentado
mucho ms tiempo
de lo que he tardado yo en contarlo, s!
Hasta que se le torci
la espalda de tal manera,
que an no he visto en la ladera
rama ms torcida y chueca,
como la espina dorsal
de ese tal cabeza hueca.
-Que venga el diablo por m,
si me paro yo de aqu.
Dijo y se qued sentado
ms tiempo del que pas,
en lo que cuento la historia de este hombre,
si la memoria no me falla.
Y ocurri,
que pas un da tanto tiempo,
que de viejo se muri.
Y adems, muri contento
pues segn su entendimiento,
fue cumpliendo su deber
como se vio envejecer.
La piedra sigue en su sitio,
y muchos hombres han pasado,
hijos todos de aquel hombre
que les hered el mandado.
Por esto, quise contar
lo que a la piedra sucedi,
y si mal no me recuerdo
ms o menos supe yo…
Que a la piedra lleg un
Lyrics translation
A man has a stone
and he was sitting in it,
he was an ambitious guy.
and it will be said that reserved.
And the man had his stone
and it was his and nothing more…
- let them get their own stone
all dems.
He said and come back for atrs.
This man has been
past whole afternoons
sitting on the back of the stone.
A big old stone
that a long, long time ago
had occupied a high place,
covering a wide area
where everything was beautiful.
And the man
deca that his was
what was found,
and protected him and kept him
more time than necessary.
But in return good vala
sacrificing comfort,
because of the undesirable taste
property.
Not the time, some aos,
and the man remains seated
something boring, but firm.
- my back is twisted.
if I get up to go.
Said and continued sitting
much longer
of what it took me to Tell, s!
Until I twisted it
back in such a way,
that an I have not seen on the hillside
twisted branch and chueca,
as the backbone
of that hollow head.
- Let the devil come for me.,
if I stop here.
He said and stay seated
more time than pass,
in what I tell the story of this man,
if my memory doesn't fail me.
And it happened,
what a long time has passed,
he died when he was old.
And besides, I'm happy to die.
then according to his understanding,
he was doing his duty
how he saw himself aging.
The stone is still in place,
and many men have passed,
all sons of that man
that I inherit the warrant.
For this, I wanted to tell
what happened to the stone,
and if I don't remember correctly
more or less I knew…
That to the stone comes a
