La Hija de Juan Simón

Juan Simón's Daughter

La Hija de Juan Simón

When I finished my sentenceCuando acabé mi condena
When I finished my sentenceCuando acabé mi condena
I felt very lonely and lostMe vi muy solo y perdí'o

She died of sorrowElla se murió de pena
And I, who have been guiltyY yo, que la culpa he si'o
I know she died being goodSé que murió siendo buena
She died of sorrowElla se murió de pena
And I, who have been guiltyY yo, que la culpa he si'o
I know she died being goodSé que murió siendo buena

They buried her in the afternoonLa enterraron por la tarde
Juan Simón's daughterA la hija de Juan Simón
And it was Simón in the townY era Simón en el pueblo
And it was Simón in the townY era Simón en el pueblo
The only gravediggerEl único enterra'or

And as he carried the shovel in one handY como en una mano llevaba la pala
And the pickaxe on his shoulderY en el hombro el azadón
Everyone asked himTodos le preguntaban
And everyone asked him:Y todos le preguntaban:
Where are you from, Juan Simón?¿De dónde vienes, Juan Simón?

I'm a gravedigger, and I comeSoy enterra'or, y vengo
I'm a gravedigger, and I comeSoy enterra'or, y vengo
To bury my heartDe enterrar a mi corazón
