The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El surco" by Chabuca Granda.
Lyrics
Dentro de un surco abierto vi germinar
Una estrella de infinita soledad
Y con una canasta le vi regar
Con agua de un arroyo de oscuridad
Ay malaya la siembra se echóa perder
Y el agua del arroyo se echóa correr
Al lucero le gusta la claridad
Y al agua del arroyo la libertad
No dio fruto el lucero, se fue a alumbrar
Y el agua del arroyo le fue a cuidar
En una hora triste quise cantar
Y dentro de mi canto quise gritar
Y dentro de mi grito quise llorar
Pero tan sólo canto para callar
Ay malaya la hora en que fui a cantar
Ay malaya la hora en que fui a gritar
Si gritando se llora para callar
Y mi vaso sediento no llega al mar
Ay malaya la hora en que fui a cantar
Ay malaya la hora en que fui a gritar
Y asíse fue el lucero a su claridad
Y asíse fue el arroyo a su libertad
No le llególa hora de clarinar
No le llególa hora de clarinar
De clarinar
Lyrics translation
Inside an open groove I saw germinate
A star of infinite solitude
And with a basket I saw him watering
With water from a stream of darkness
Ay malaya the planting was ruined
And the water in the stream ran
Lucero likes clarity
And to the water of the stream La libertad
The nightlight did not bear fruit, it went to light
And the water in the stream went to take care of him
In a sad hour I wanted to sing
And inside my song I wanted to scream
And inside my cry I wanted to cry
But I just sing to shut up
Ay malaya the time I went to sing
Ay malaya the time I went to scream
If screaming cries to shut up
And my thirsty glass doesn't reach the sea
Ay malaya the time I went to sing
Ay malaya the time I went to scream
And so went the lumberjack to his clarity
And so went the stream to his freedom
It wasn't time for him to clear up.
It wasn't time for him to clear up.
