El Carbonero

The Coalman

El Carbonero

For you, the coalman's songPara ti la cancion carbonero
Honoring your job under the sunReverencia tu oficio de sol
For the weather asleep in your cartPor el clima dormido en tu carro
Of coal, of coalDe carbon, de carbon

I hear from your voice, coalmanEscuche de tu voz carbonero
The blue of your old chantEl azul de tu viejo pregon
In August, you offered JanuaryEn agosto ofrecias enero
Of coal, of coalDe carbon, de carbon

Let's go, coalmanVamos carbonero
With a destiny of coalCon destino de carbon
With the fire of dreamsCon lumbre de sueños
Warming the illusionCalentando la ilusion
That the cold and the night end with the sunQue el frio y la noche se terminen con el sol
... Ignite in my song and your coal... Enciende en mi canto y tu carbon

For the poor, winter is longerPara el pobre es mas largo el invierno
Don't deny them your dark warmthNo le niegues tu oscuro calor
Bring them closer the dark summerArrimale el verano moreno
Of coal, of coalDe carbon, de carbon

Let's go, coalmanVamos carbonero
With a destiny of coalCon destino de carbon
With the fire of dreamsCon lumbre de sueños
Warming the illusionCalentando la ilusion
That the cold and the night end with the sunQue el frio y la noche se terminen con el sol
... Ignite in my song and your coal... Enciende en mi canto y tu carbon

For you, the coalman's song ...Para ti la cancion carbonero ...
