Lyrics
A la caída de la tarde
San José de Arimatea
dejó la radio en el suelo y se puso a bailar.
No pensaba en el trabajo que había puesto en su hacienda
y siempre había sospechado quién le robaba las almendras
pero esta vez lo vio y lo invitó a fumar.
No tenía ningún callo
que lo avisara de tormenta
nunca supo distinguir la estrella polar.
Sentado bajo la higuera recogía con cuidado
el fruto que los pájaros habían ya picoteado
y guardaban para él su mayor dulzor.
Y si a veces ayunaba
no era que nadie lo tentaba
era sólo por ver nuevos colores en el sol.
Bajaban por el monte turbas evangelizantes
que habían hallado el camino de la salvación.
San José que era muy viejo y se lo hacía de incógnito
levantó su cara al cielo y lo abrazó con los ojos
Guardó la piedra en la bolsa y se fue a descansar
Lyrics translation
At nightfall
San Jose De Arimatea
he left the radio on the floor and started dancing.
He didn't think about the work he had put into his estate
and he'd always suspected who was stealing his almonds
but this time she saw him and invited him to smoke.
I didn't have any calluses.
to warn him of the storm
he never knew the polar Star.
Sitting under the fig tree he collected carefully
the fruit that the birds had already pecked
and they kept for him their greatest sweetness.
And if sometimes I fasted
it wasn't that nobody tempted him.
it was just to see new colors in the sun.
They went down the Mount evangelizing mobs
that they had found the way of salvation.
St. Joseph was very old and did it Incognito
he raised his face to the sky and embraced him with his eyes
He kept the stone in the bag and went to rest
