The Bell Ringer

Joselito

La Campanera

¿Por qué has pintao en tus ojeras
La flor de lirio real?
¿Porqué te has puesto de cera?
¡Ay campanera! ¿Porqué será?

Mira que to el que no sabe
Tu eres la llave de la verdad
Dicen que no eres buena
Y a la azucena te pudieras comparar

Dile que pare esa noria que va rodando
Pregonando lo que quiere
Que por saberla tu historia
Le estan buscando como y cuando del que hiere

¡Ay Campanera!
Y aunque la gente no quiera
Tu eres la mejor de las mujeres
Porque te hizo Dios su pregonera

¿Por qué se para la gente
Na' mas la ven de pasar?
Porque es la alondra valiente
Que alza la frente y echa a cantar

Dicen que si un perseguido
Que anda escondido la viene a ver
Cuentan que amante espera
La Campanera con la ronda de las tres

Lleva corona de gloria
Coge el revuelo del desvelo por amores
Cuando el rodar de la noria
Tapó con velo todo aquel cielo de colores

¡Ay Campanera!
Es el amante que espera
Con la bendición de los altares
Como manda Dios, su compañera

The Bell Ringer

Why have you painted dark circles under your eyes?
The royal lily flower?
Why did you put on wax?
Oh, bell ringer! Why is that?

Look at everyone who doesn't know
You are the key to truth
They say you're not good
And you could compare yourself to the lily

Tell him to stop that Ferris wheel that is rolling
Preaching what he wants
That for knowing your story
They are looking for him as and when he hurts

Oh, Bell Ringer!
And even if people don't want to
You are the best of women
Because God made you his herald

Why do people stop?
You just see her passing by?
Because it is the brave lark
That raises its head and starts singing

They say that if a persecuted person
He who is hiding comes to see her
They say that a lover is waiting
The Campanera with the round of three

Wears a crown of glory
Take the stir of sleeplessness for love
When the Ferris wheel rolls
He covered with a veil all that colorful sky

Oh, Bell Ringer!
He is the lover who waits
With the blessing of the altars
As God commands, your partner
