La Carreta

The Cart

La Carreta

He lost what he wanted the mostPerdio lo que mas queria
Because destiny wanted itPorque lo quiso el destino
Just a few days were missingFaltaban unos pocos dias
To escape to the dewPara escaparse al rocio
With his people on pilgrimageCon su gente en romeria

At his door the cartEn su puerta la carreta
White with lime has stayedBlanca de cal se ha quedao
The oxen on the pathLos bueyes en la verea
And the frontiles storedY los frontiles guardaos
While the sorrow passes byMientras le pasa la pena

He walks on the sandsCamina por las arenas
That he dreamed day after dayQue soñaba dia tras dia
But he neither sings nor drinksPero ni canta ni bebe
Nor sees it with joyNi lo ve con alegria
Even though he carries no promiseAunque promesa no lleve

He even left his guitarHasta dejo su guitarra
The boot hanging emptyLa bota colga y vacia
And all his illusionsY todas sus ilusiones
Changed that daySe cambiaron aquel dia
Dew, for bitternessRocio, por sinsabores

And he couldn't bear itY no se pudo aguantar
When he heard the fireworksCuando escucho los cohetes
He forgot about what they would saySe olvido del que diran
And behind the bannerY detrás del simpecado
Crying, he started walkingLlorando se echo a caminar
