Lyrics
La guitarrera que toca
tiene en la frente un dolor:
su risa se fue en los ojos
de un guitarrero andador.
La guitarrera que toca
tiene labios sin color:
el rojo se fue en la boca
de un guitarrero cantor,
ay, ay.
La guitarrera que toca
guarda penas bajo el chal:
su sangre inundó la piedra
abajo en el mineral.
Los hijos allí quedaron
por su bien o por su mal:
la guitarrera los llama
con voz de opaco metal.
Camino: te he de torcer
por mañana y por ayer.
Mañana habrás de traer
lo que vine a perder,
ay, ay.
La guitarrera que toca
mira el camino venir:
por él los miró acercarse,
por él los miró partir.
La guitarrera en el pelo
tiene nieve de sufrir:
sólo el llanto va creciendo,
sólo el canto ha de morir.
Lyrics translation
The guitar player who plays
he's got a pain in his forehead.:
his laughter went into his eyes
from a walking guitar player.
The guitar player who plays
she has colorless lips:
the Red went in the mouth
from a singing guitarist,
ay, ay.
The guitar player who plays
keep penalties under the shawl:
his blood flooded the stone
down in the ore.
The children were left there
for his good or for his evil:
the guitar player calls them
with opaque metal voice.
Way: I have to twist you
tomorrow and yesterday.
Tomorrow you will bring
what I came to lose,
ay, ay.
The guitar player who plays
watch the road come:
he watched them come near,
he watched them leave.
The guitar player in the hair
has snow to suffer:
only the cry grows,
only singing must die.
