Lyrics
Y ahora la tengo en Carrizal
la tierra donde yo nací
Donde Juancho conoció a Martín
y también conoció a Mamá (Bis)
Compadre Juancho no fui a su entierro
porque no quise verlo enterra'
oiga compadre no fui a su entierro
porque no quise verlo enterra'
Porque así yo me hago la idea
de que usted esta viajando lejos
que esta con Dios allá en el Cielo
sentado con el padre a su diestra
En cambio aquí en el cementerio,
compadre, me mata la tristeza (Bis)
A mi compadre Maño le dice
que fue muy triste su despedida (Bis)
Y a Eudes le dice también que saludos
le mandan sus hijas Y a Martín
que lo quiero muchoy a la Virgen que me los bendiga
Oiga compadre he sufrido mucho
porque en San Juan me iban a matar (Bis)
el día de su triste partida,
me botaron y no gustan de mí
perdonelos compadre Juancho Rois
y no deje de rezar por mí (Bis)
(Gracias a je por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
And now I have it in Carrizal
the land where I was born
Where Juancho met Martin
and he also met mom (Bis)
Compadre Juancho I didn't go to his funeral
'cause I didn't want to see him bury'
Hey, buddy, I didn't go to your funeral.
'cause I didn't want to see him bury'
Because that's how I get the idea
that you're traveling far
who is with God there in heaven
sitting with the father at his right hand
Instead here in the cemetery,
compadre, it kills me sadness (Bis)
My friend Maño says
that was very sad his farewell (Bis)
And Eudes also says that Greetings
they send his daughters and Martin
that I love him very much and the Virgin bless me
Listen, buddy, I've suffered a lot.
because in San Juan they were going to kill me (Bis)
the day of his sad departure,
they threw me out and they don't like me
forgive them compadre Juancho Rois
and don't stop praying for me (Bis)
(Thanks to je for this letter)
