Lyrics
Don Ramón
era un bardo
de taberna
medio sabio
medio poeta
Don Ramón
le hacía a su acordeón
cantar.
Era el alma
de aquel antro
de fantasmas
solidarios,
Don Ramón
llenaba el corazón
el bar.
Pero el alba,
cuando el vino
se olvidaba del olvido,
Don Ramón
tocaba el vals que un amor
fatal le inspiró…
Un, dos, tres…
Sus ojos lloraban
cada vez
que todos cantaban, cantaban,
cantaban
el coro de su canción…
Y un catorce
de febrero,
entre sones
de bolero,
Don Ramón
sintió que su acordeón
calló.
Abrazado
al silencio
en el acto
cayó al suelo,
Don Ramón
fundió a su acordeón
murió.
Y doblaron
las campanas
por el bardo
de la tasca,
Don Ramón
se fue como aquel amor
que le traicionó.
Nunca más
la triste alegría
que aquel vals
que todos pedían, pedían,
pedían que tocara Don Ramón.
Lyrics translation
Don Ramon
he was a bard.
of tavern
half wise
half poet
Don Ramon
he made his accordion
sing.
It was the soul
from that den
of ghosts
solidary,
Don Ramon
filled the heart
bar.
But the dawn,
when the wine
he forgot the forgetfulness,
Don Ramon
he played the waltz that a love
fatal inspired him…
One, two, three…
His eyes cried
every time
that everyone sang, sang,
sing
the chorus of his song…
And a fourteen
February,
between sones
Bolero,
Don Ramon
he felt that his accordion
silent.
Embrace
to silence
on the spot
fell to the ground,
Don Ramon
he melted his accordion
die.
And they doubled
campaign
by the Bard
from the pocket,
Don Ramon
he went away like that love
who betrayed him.
Never again
the sad joy
that Waltz
that everyone asked, they asked,
they asked me to play Don Ramon.
