Señor de Las Canas

Lord of the Canes

Señor de Las Canas

No one knows how longNadie sabe cuanto tiempo
He carried bitternessTraía cargando amargura
As a memory of my old manComo recuerdo a mi viejo
And his many adventuresY sus tantas aventuras

His years ran outSe le acabaron los años
And on his face a tangleY en su rostro una madeja
And he transformed his smileY transformo sus sonrisa
Just for a grimaceTan solo por una mueca

If you find on your waySi encuentras en tu camino
A man who is cryingA un hombre que va llorando
Tell him that daily in my prayersDile que a diario en mis rezos
I am pronouncing his nameSu nombre voy pronunciando

By signs he has sad eyesPor señas tiene ojos tristes
And wounded his heartY herido su corazón
He is old and with white hairEs viejo y de pelo blanco
His gaze pure loveSu mirada puro amor

If you find on your waySi encuentras en tu camino
A man who is cryingA un hombre que va llorando
Tell him that daily in my prayersDile que a diario en mis rezos
I am pronouncing his nameSu nombre voy pronunciando

Through a thousand pathsAn algo por mil veredas
Of towns and old streetsDe pueblos y calles viejas
Where his years endedDonde acabaron sus años
Where his sorrows endedDonde acabaron sus penas
