Réquiem Sobre El Jaragua
Le die(ro)n dinamita
Un martes en la tarde
Se pasa(ro)n el día
Pegando los cables
Le dién dinamita
Con pico de calle
Por más que le dieron
Jaragua no cae
Le dién dinamita
To(do) el pueblo lo sabe
La luna reía
Los buenos no caen
Le dién dinamita
Lo dije, compadre
Por más que le dieron
Jaragua no cae
(¡nada más falta que nos tumben la luna, viejo...!)
[improv.]
Le dién dinamita
Tó el pueblo lo sabe
Por más que le dieron
Jaragua no cae
Le dién dinamita
Con pico de calle
Por más que le dieron
Jaragua no cae
Le dién dinamita
El pueblo lo sabe
Le dién dinamita
Gustavo lo sabe
Por más que le dieron
Jaragua no cae
Le dién dinamita
Con pico de calle
Por más que le dieron
Jaragua no cae
[rafael colón:] luna sobre el jaragua...
Requiem Over The Jaragua
They gave them dynamite
On a Tuesday afternoon
They spent the day
Attaching the cables
They gave them dynamite
With a street pickaxe
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
The whole town knows it
The moon was laughing
The good ones don't fall
They gave them dynamite
I said it, buddy
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
(All that's missing is for them to knock down the moon, old man...!)
[improv.]
They gave them dynamite
The whole town knows it
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
With a street pickaxe
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
The town knows it
They gave them dynamite
Gustavo knows it
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
They gave them dynamite
With a street pickaxe
No matter how much they gave
Jaragua doesn't fall
[rafael colón:] moon over the jaragua...
