Zaraza

Contagion

Zaraza

White footprint that, every day,Blanca huella que, todos los dias,
Clamped in the yoke, you see me toil;Clavado en el yugo, me ves picanear;
Companion of the long roadCompañera del largo camino
For hours on end I see you whiten.Las horas enteras te veo blanquear.
While, under the weight of the wheat,Mientras que, bajo el peso del trigo,
The tired axles I feel them groan,Los ejes cansados los siento quejar,
I, tying my sorrow to that complaint,Yo, anudando mi pena a esa queja,
With songs and whistles I know how to accompany you.Con cantos y silbos te sé acompañar.

On the trail, trail, contagion,¡A la huella, huella, zaraza,
Trail, trail, damn!Huella, huella, guay!
The ungrateful one will return homeVolverá la ingrata a su casa
She'll walk around...Andará por áhi...
If I were to see her, contagion,Que si yo la viera, zaraza,
I'll talk to her, watch out...La hablaré, velay...
On the trail, trail, contagion,¡A la huella, huella, zaraza,
Trail, trail, damn!Huella, huella, guay!

Contagion ox, your sad eyesBuey zaraza, tus ojos tristones
Looking at the trail seem to searchMirando la huella parecen buscar
For the miracle of those little stepsEl milagro de aquellos pasitos
That the ungrateful one didn't know how to leave behind.Que al irse la ingrata no supo dejar.
Companion who, united with meCompañero que, unido conmigo
To the same destiny, we have to walk,A un mismo destino, tenemos que andar,
We will continue to track the trail,Seguiremos rastreando la huella,
The same one we always see whiten.La misma gue siempre la vemos blanquear.
