Lyrics
Que poco le importa al son
Que el indio no tenga techo
Que poco te importa a ti
Todo este mal que me has hecho
El agua no nos da sed
El sol no sabe que alumbra
Tú no tienes corazón
Porque has dejado penumbra
Donde yo sembré el amor
Donde yo sembré el amor
Es de oro el primer amor
El que le sigue de plata
El tercero y los demás
Se vuelven de pura lata
Hasta los veinte es un sol
Hasta los treinta una luna
Si a los cuarenta llego
No dejen ir a ninguna
Porque te castiga Dios
Porque te castiga Dios
La espiga que maduró
Le dijo a la espiga verde
Quien en tierra ajena siembra
Hasta la semilla pierde
Si te vas a enamorar
El amor debes sembrar
Como aconseja la espiga
Y tendrás que florecer
Como florece mi amor
Lyrics translation
What little does the son care
That the Indian has no roof
How little does it matter to you
All this evil you've done to me
Water doesn't make us thirsty
The sun doesn't know it's shining
You have no heart
Because you've left darkness
Where I sowed love
Where I sowed love
It's gold the first love
The one who follows him in silver
The third and the other
They turn out to be pure tin
Until twenty is a sun
Until thirty one moon
If I get to forty
Don't let any of them go.
Because God punishes you
Because God punishes you
The spike that matured
He told the green spike
Who sows in another's land
Even the seed loses
If you're gonna fall in love
Love must sow
As advised by the spike
And you'll have to bloom
How my love blooms
