Lyrics
Por la manchega llanura
se vuelve a ver la figura
de Don Quijote pasar,
y ahora ociosa y abollada
va en el rucio la armadura,
y va ocioso el caballero
sin peto y sin espaldas,
va cargado de amargura
que all encontr sepultura
su amoroso batallar.
Va cargado de amargura
que all qued su ventura,
en la playa de Barcino
frente al mar.
Cuantas veces Don Quijote
por esa misma llanura,
en horas de desaliento
as te mir pasar.
Y cuantas veces te grit
«Hazme un sitio en tu montura
y llvame a tu lugar
que yo tambin,
voy cargado de amargura
y no puedo batallar.»
Pnme a la grupa contigo
caballero del honor,
pnme a la grupa contigo
y llvame a ser contigo pastor.
Por la manchega llanura
se vuelve a ver la figura
de Don Quijote pasar,
va cargado de amargura,
va vencido el caballero
que retorn a su lugar.
Lyrics translation
By the manchega plain
you see the figure again
Don Quixote pass,
and now idle and dented
it goes in the rucio the armor,
and the gentleman goes idle
no breast and no back,
it's full of bitterness
that all find grave
your loving battle.
It's full of bitterness
may all your luck remain,
on the beach of Barcino
sea front.
How many times Don Quixote
by that same plain,
in hours of discouragement
as you pass by.
And how many times do I yell at you
"Make me a seat on your mount
and take me to your place
that I too,
I'm full of bitterness
and I can't fight.»
Pnme to the croup with you
Knight of honor,
pnme to the croup with you
and bring me to be with you pastor.
By the manchega plain
you see the figure again
Don Quixote pass,
it's full of bitterness,
the Knight is defeated
let him return to his place.
