Lyrics
Canta charango
que te ayude la quena al cantar
que se callen los enamorados
y el río se lleve la pena al mar.
Cántale recio charango
mezcla de guitarra y fango
aún te queda mucha tierra
mucha queja en tus cantos.
Cántale a la piel de toro
que le dio sangre a tus cuerdas
y aún dormido ahíen tu vientre
un fandango de Huelva.
Hoy ha muerto mi guitarra
mañana la he de enterrar
cántale recio charango
que me llora el cantar.
Muerta la que me cantaba
no me queda ya pregón
canta túcharango mío
si aún te vibra el bordón.
Ella tenía poemas
y cantábame a la vida
pero ahora estádormida
y no sabe de penas.
Lyrics translation
Sing charango
May the quena help you sing
May the lovers be silent
and the river takes the penalty to the sea.
Sing to him recio charango
mix of guitar and mud
you still have a lot of land left.
a lot of complaining in your songs.
Sing to the bull's skin
who gave blood to your strings
and still asleep there's your belly
a Huelva fandango.
My guitar died today
tomorrow I have to bury her
sing to him recio charango
I'm so sorry to sing.
Dead the one who sang to me
I don't have any more noise.
sing my toucharango
if your horn's still vibrating.
She had poems
and sang me to life
but now she's asleep
and he doesn't know about grief.
