The Lord of the Canes

El Señor de Las Canas

No one knows how long,Nadie sabe cuanto tiempo,
He carried bitterness,Traía cargando amarguras,
As a memory of my old man,Como recuerdo a mi viejo,
And his many adventures.Y sus tantas aventuras.

His years turned on him,Se le volvieron sus años,
And on his face a tangle,Y en su rostro una madeja,
And transformed his smile,Y transformo su sonrisa,
Just for a grimace.Tan solo por una mueca.

If you find on your way,Si encuentras en tu camino,
A man who is crying,A un hombre que va llorando,
Tell him that daily in my prayers,Dile que a diario en mis rezos,
I am pronouncing his name.Su nombre voy pronunciando.

By signs he carries sad eyes,Por señas lleva ojos tristes,
And his heart wounded,Y herido su corazón,
He is tall and with white hair,Es alto y de pelo blanco,
His gaze is pure love.Su mirada es puro amor.

That lord of the canes,Ese señor de las canas,
In good times and bad,En las buenas y en las malas,
Always knew how to respond,Siempre supo responder,
He was poor in his childhood,Fue pobre allá en su infancia,
He had a bit of ignorance,Tubo un poca de ignorancia,
But he managed to overcome it.Pero la logro vencer

If you find on your way,Si encuentras en tu camino,
A man who is crying,A un hombre que va llorando,
Tell him that daily in my prayers,Dile que a diario en mis rezos,
I am pronouncing his name.Su nombre voy pronunciando.

He walked a thousand paths,Fue andador de mil veredas,
Through towns and old streets,Por pueblos y calles viejas,
Where his years remained,Donde quedaron su años ,
Where his sorrows ended.Donde acabaron sus penas.
