Sawdust and Wine

Virutaivino

Happy wine, pure flame, very sparklingVino alegre, pura llama, bien chispeador
That suddenly ignites, breaks the voiceQue se enciende de un repente, quiebra la voz
And slowly turns to ashes when the singerY lentito se enceniza cuando el cantor
Fades away in little pieces like coalSe apaga de a pedacitos como el carbón

And his carpenter hand smells like laurelY su mano carpintera huele a laurel
While through the veins of a guayabilMientras que por las vetas de un guayabil

I'm leaving now, little wool flowerYa me voy, florcita’i lana

Climbing in the guadalesRepechando en los guadales
The road goes up, zambita of the branchesSube el camino, zambita de los ramales

And if Beto Ojeda stings, Flor de AlelíY si pica el Beto Ojeda, Flor de Alelí
