The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Canción Para Carito" by Leon Gieco.
Lyrics
En un banco en la ciudad
Con tu mirada
Recordando el litoral.
Tu suerte quiso estar partida
Mitad verdad, mitad mentira
Como esperanza
De los pobres prometida.
Andando solo
Bajo la llovizna gris
Fingiendo duro
Que tu vida fue de aqui
Por que cambiaste un mar de gente
Por donde gobierna la flor
Mira que el rio
Nunca regalo el color.
Carito suelta tu pena
Se hara diamante tu lagrima
Entre mis cuerdas
Carito suelta tu piedra
Para volar como el zorzal en primavera.
En buenos aires
Los zapatos son modernos
Pero no lucen
Como en la plaza de un pueblo
Deja que tu luz chiquitita
Hable en secreto a la cancion
Para que te acaricie
Un poco mas el sol.
Cualquier semilla
Cuando es planta quiere ver
La misma estrella
De aquel atardecer
Que la salvo del pico agudo
Refugiandola al oscuro
De la gaviota arrasadora
De los surcos.
Carito yo soy tu amigo
Me ofrezco arbol para tu nido
Carito suelta tu canto
Que el abanico en mi acordeon
Lo esta esperando.
Lyrics translation
In a bank in the city
With your gaze
Remembering the coastline.
Your luck wanted to be broken
Half truth, half lie
As Hope
Of the poor betrothed.
Going alone
Under the grey drizzle
Pretending hard
That your life was from here
Because you changed a sea of people
Where the flower rules
Look at the river
I never give away the color.
Little face let go of your sorrow
It will make Diamond your tear
Between my strings
Little face let go of your stone
To fly like the skunk in spring.
En buenos aires
The shoes are modern
But they don't look
As in the square of a village
Let your little light
Speak in secret to the song
To caress you
A little more sun.
Any seed
When it is plant wants to see
The same star
Of that sunset
That saved her from the sharp peak
Sheltering her to the dark
Of the ravishing gull
From the furrows.
Dear I am your friend
I offer tree for your nest
Little face let go of your song
That the fan in my accordion
He's waiting for you.
