Lyrics

Yo tuve un amor que en mi corazón
trazó marcas negras
Y de la viruta que allí quedó
nacieron mis penas (bis)
Cepillo para pulir
angustias de mi alma
Serrucho para cortar
amor que duele y que daña (bis)
Carpintero de tu piel
ebanista de tu aliento
Mi martillo y mi cincel
van labrando mi lamento
La rumba es en mi taller
mis amigos mi herramienta
Dónde estará mi mujer
mi madera y la experiencia

Lyrics translation

I had a love that in my heart
traced black marks
And the chip that was left there
my sorrows were born (bis)
Polishing brush
anguish of my soul
Cutting saw
love that hurts and hurts (bis)
Carpenter of your skin
cabinetmaker of your breath
My hammer and chisel
they're working my lament
The rumba is in my workshop
my friends my tool
Where Will my wife be
my wood and experience
