Canto Oriental
Canto oriental, canto amigo
Canto mil veces cantando
Suena el clarín de los gallos
Cuando la mañana viene
Y como dice benedetti
El canto no se ha acabado
Ni colorín, ni colorado
El canto no se ha acabado.
Canto oriental, canto amigo
Viento que mueve la espiga
Pon en las manos de artigas
Un corazón levantado
Que hace falta como el trigo
Para el pan recién horneado
Ni colorín, ni colorado
El canto no se ha acabado,
Ni colorín, ni colorado
El canto no se ha acabado,
Canto oriental, canto amigo
Un viajero de éste tiempo
Por los que quedan adentro
Y escriben tu poesía
Oriental de amanecida
Por los niños de viglietti
Y como dice benedetti
El canto no se ha acabado.
Ni colorín, ni colorado
Zitarrosa anda cantando,
Ni colorín, ni colorado
Por un uruguay sin dueño,
Ni colorín, ni colorado
Cantan los olimareños
Ni colorín, ni colorado
Cantando el flaco viglietti
Ni colorín, ni colorado
Zitarrosa anda cantando
Ni colorín, ni colorado
Por un uruguay
Sin dueño,
Ni colorín, ni colorado
El canto no se ha acabado.
Eastern Song
Eastern song, friendly song
Singing a thousand times
The roosters' bugle sounds
When the morning comes
And as Benedetti says
The song is not over
Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over.
Eastern song, friendly song
Wind that moves the wheat
Place in Artigas' hands
A lifted heart
That is needed like the wheat
For the freshly baked bread
Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over
Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over.
Eastern song, friendly song
A traveler of this time
For those who remain inside
And write your poetry
Eastern at dawn
For the children of Viglietti
And as Benedetti says
The song is not over.
Not even a hint, not even a color
Zitarrosa is singing
Not even a hint, not even a color
For an Uruguay without an owner
Not even a hint, not even a color
The people from Olimar sing
Not even a hint, not even a color
Singing the skinny Viglietti
Not even a hint, not even a color
Zitarrosa is singing
Not even a hint, not even a color
For an Uruguay
Without an owner
Not even a hint, not even a color
The song is not over.
