Campanera

Bell Ringer

Campanera

Why have you painted in your dark circles¿Por qué has pintado en tus ojeras
The royal lily flower?La flor de lirio real?
Why have you dressed in silk?¿Por qué te has puesto de seda?
Oh bell ringer, why could it be?Ay campanera, ¿por qué será?

Look, everyone who doesn't knowMira que todo el que no sabe
What is the key to truth,Cuál es la llave de la verdad,
They say you're not good,Dicen que no eres buena,
And could compare you to the lily.Y a la azucena te pudiera comparar.

Tell them to stop that waterwheelDile que pare esa noria
That keeps turning and proclaiming what it wants,Que va rodando y pregonando lo que quiere,
And to know your storyY por saber a tu historia
They are looking for it, how and when of the one who hurts.La están buscando, cómo y cuándo del que hiere.

Oh, Bell Ringer,Ay, Campanera,
Even if people don't want it,Aunque la gente no quiera,
You are the best of womenTú eres la mejor de las mujeres
Because God made you his herald.Porque te hizo Dios su pregonera.

Because people stopPor que se para la gente,
Just by seeing you pass by,Nada más la ven de pasar,
Because you are a brave larkPor que es alondra valiente,
Who raises her head and starts to sing.Que alza la frente y echa a cantar.

They say that if a suitorDicen que si un perseguio
Who walks hidden comes to see you,Que anda escondio la viene a ver,
They tell that a lover waits,Cuentan, que amante espera,
The bell ringer with the round of three.La campanera con la ronda de las tres.

It was already a crown of glory,Ya era de corona de gloria,
For that commotion of sleeplessness, for love,Para aquel revuelo del desvelo, por amores,
When the turning of the waterwheelCuando el rodar de la noria
Covered with a veil all the colorful sky.Tapó con velo todo el cielo de colores.

Oh, Bell Ringer,Ay, Campanera,
Even if people don't want it,Aunque la gente no quiera,
You are the best of womenTú eres la mejor de las mujeres
Because God made you his herald.Porque te hizo Dios su pregonera.

Oh, Bell RingerAy, Campanera
From the lover who waits,Desde el amante que espera,
With the blessing of the altarsCon la bendición de los altares
As God commands his companion.Como manda Dios su compañera.
