A Mi Guitarra

To My Guitar

A Mi Guitarra

And I wanted to understandY yo quería comprender
The feeling of my guitarEl sentir de mi guitarra
The lament of a stringEl lamento de un bordón
Some notes that escapeUnas notas que se escapan
And reach your heartY que te llegan al corazón
That drags you and traps youQue te arrastra y que te atrapa
And convey emotionY transmiten emoción

The other night she told meMe contaba la otra noche
Intoxicated by jealousyEmbriagada por los celos
That her sound is changingQue tranforman su sonío
That her flamenco is lostQue se pierde su flamenco
That the times are changing herQue los tiempos le están cambiando
That the times are changing herQue le están cambiando los tiempos

They are giving me musical richesRiquezas musicales me están dando
And they are forgetting the pureY se están olvidando de lo puro
They no longer remember the temper or the pinchYa no recuerdan el temple ni el pellizco
Now they bring out the harsh soundsAhora me sacan los soníos duros

In the silence of the nightEn el silencio de la noche
And in the light of this streetlightY a la luz de esta farola
May it serve as inspirationTe sirva de inspiración

Don't cry for me, little guitarNo me llores guitarrilla
I delve into your painQue me meto en tu dolor

Play me a seguirillaTócame por seguirilla
You sound better than allQue suenas mejor que to

The other night she told meMe contaba la otra noche
Intoxicated by jealousyEmbriagada por los celos
That her sound is changingQue transforman su sonío
That her flamenco is lostQue se pierde su flamenco
That the times are changingQue los tiempos están cambiando
That the times are changing herQue le están cambiando los tiempos

Play me a soleaTocame por solea
Because if she starts playingQue mira que si sale tocando
It won't be able to be held backNo se va a poder aguantar
