Tenía una guitarra
Tenía una guitarra,
Tenía una ilusión,
Tenía tanta vida,
Era tanto su amor.
Era como aquel árbol
Que espera su verdor,
Tenía una guitarra,
Tenía una ilusión.
Diles tú guitarra mía,
Que conoces mi dolor,
Cuando andaba por la vida
Sin cariño y sin amor.
Les diré que en mi tristeza,
Cuando nadie me escuchó,
Era fuerza que alentaba
Mi penoso corazón.
Tenía una guitarra
Y ayer ya no sonó,
Su música me queda
Mi guitarra calló.
Su música me queda
Mi guitarra calló.
I had a guitar
I had a guitar,
I had a dream,
I had so much life,
His love was so much.
It was like that tree
That waits for its greenery,
I had a guitar,
I had a dream.
Tell them, my guitar,
That you know my pain,
When I walked through life
Without affection and without love.
I will tell them that in my sadness,
When no one listened to me,
It was a force that encouraged
My painful heart.
I had a guitar
And yesterday it didn't sound,
Its music remains with me
My guitar fell silent.
Its music remains with me
My guitar fell silent.
