El Pintor

The Painter

El Pintor

Thinking I was doing something goodCreyendo hacer cosa buena
A painter painted me one day,Un pintor me pinto un día,
But he only painted the outsideMas me pinto por afuera
'Cause he couldn't see the inside.Porque adentro no veía.

When will that painter come¿Cuando vendrá ese pintor
To paint what I truly feel?Que pinte lo que yo siento?
Desire to live my lifeGanas de vivir la vida
Without worries or pain...Sin angustias ni tormentos...

That painter's a bad artistEs mal pintor el pintor
Who painted me that day,Que me ha pintado ese día,
Singing mountain songsCantando coplas serranas
With an empty belly.Con la barriga vacía.

That painter's a bad artist,Es mal pintor el pintor,
And there's no doubt about it,Y en esto no hay duda alguna,
'Cause he only painted my ponchoPues solo pintó mi poncho
And forgot about my hunger.Y se olvidó de mi hambruna.

When will that painter come¿Cuando vendrá ese pintor
To paint what I truly feel?Que pinte lo que yo siento?
Desire to live my lifeGanas de vivir la vida
Without sorrows or pain.Sin pesares ni tormentos.

Thinking I was doing something good...Creyendo hacer cosa buena...
