Domingo Ferreiro

Because the estuaries are full of bloodPorque están llenas de sangre las rías
Because I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want toPorque no quiero, no quiero, no quiero
And the flowery branches dried upY se secaron los ramos floridos
That she carried in the wind's lapQue ella traía en la falda del viento
That she carried to her soldier boyfriendQue ella traía a su novio soldado

Or fisherman, farmer, sailorO pescador, labrador, marinero
The plague has fallen over GaliciaSobre galicia ha caído la peste
Oh, the dark sergeants cameAy, los oscuros sargentos vinieron

The men are hanging from the pinesEstán colgando en los pinos los hombres
Play the bagpipe, I don't want to, I don't want toToca la gaita, no quiero, no quiero
Our brothers who are down thereNuestros hermanos que están allá abajo
Will soon come to avenge the deadPronto vendrán a vengar a los muertos
They will soon come in the middle of summerPronto vendrán en mitad del verano
They will soon come in the middle of winterPronto vendrán en mitad del invierno

Those who haven't died will walk through the mountainsEl que no ha muerto andará por el monte
And in the villages, the good ones fellY en las aldeas cayeron los buenos
Oh, may the wolves not go to the mountainsAy, que no vayan los lobos al monte
Play the bagpipe, I don't want to, I don't want toToca la gaita, no quiero, no quiero
The brave militias will comeYa llegarán las valientes milicias
To finish off the scum of the desertPara acabar con la hez del desierto

They will come in the middle of historyYa llegarán en mitad de la historia
They will come in the middle of timesYa llegarán en mitad de los tiempos
Play the bagpipe, let the bishop dance!Toca la gaita ¡que baile el obispo!
Play the bagpipe, I don't want to, I don't want toToca la gaita, no quiero, no quiero

Because it's not a time for celebration in SpainPorque no es hora de fiesta en España
Because I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want toPorque no quiero, no quiero, no quiero
The loyal soldiers will comeYa llegarán los soldados leales
To finish off the black birdsPara acabar con los pájaros negros

They will come in the middle of the BibleYa llegarán en mitad de la biblia
They will come in the middle of the deadYa llegarán en mitad de los muertos
Play the bagpipeToca la gaita
Let the viper dance!¡Que baile la víbora!

Play the bagpipe, I don't want to, I don't want toToca la gaita, no quiero, no quiero
Because the bagpipe doesn't want to be playedPorque la gaita no quiere que toque
Because Sunday Ferreiro has diedPorque se ha muerto domingo ferreiro
