The Street Organ Grinder

Agustín Lara

El Organillero

Cantando por el barrio del amor
Se cansa mi organillo de llorar
Se mete en las orejas su rumor
Y se oye por todita la ciudad

Ya se va el organillero
Con su tema juguetón
Que es olvido y es amor
Y se aturde todo el barrio
Y se salta el corazón
Cuando canta su canción

En sus quejas dolorosas
Cuántas cosas me contó
Sonecito callejero
Lastimero y juguetón

Ya se va el organillero
Nadie sabe adonde va
Dónde guarda su canción
Pobrecito organillero
Si el manubrio te cansó
Dale vuelta al corazón

The Street Organ Grinder

Singing through the neighborhood of love
My street organ gets tired of crying
Its rumor gets into the ears
And is heard throughout the city

The street organ grinder is leaving now
With his playful tune
That is forgetfulness and love
And the whole neighborhood gets dizzy
And the heart skips a beat
When he sings his song

In his painful complaints
He told me so many things
Little street organ tune
Painful and playful

The street organ grinder is leaving now
Nobody knows where he's going
Where he keeps his song
Poor street organ grinder
If the handle wore you out
Turn the heart around
