Zamba Para Un Bohemio Guitarrero

Song for a Bohemian Guitarist

Zamba Para Un Bohemio Guitarrero

Wrapped up in wineOvillado por el vino
Your song sends shivers through the nightTu canto eriza la noche
And to the guitar squad, your voiceY al escuadrón guitarrero tu voz
Hides with the morning starCon el lucero lo esconde

Guitarist in loveGuitarrero enamorado
Embracing povertyAbrazao' a la pobreza
You look to the sky, crying for yesterdayMiras del cielo llorando el ayer
The stars filled with sadnessLas estrellas con tristezas

All alone like a lone birdSolito como la urpila
Coquito Cáceres singsCoquito Cáceres canta
Singing through the pain in his voiceCanta pechando la pena en su voz
From his tormented bohemiaDe su bohemia atormentada

Your song flows through the streetsTu canto beben las calles
Of my Santiago townDe mi pueblo santiagueño
When silence turns into lonelinessCuando el silencio se hace soledad
And the night ties up dreamsY la noche ata el sueño

Maturing like a carnivalMadurando carnavales
Your guitar soaks the dawnTu guitarra moja el alba
And in the calm of your heartY en el remanso de tu corazón
A chacarera dancesUna chacarera baila
