Los Piconeros

The Charcoal Makers

Los Piconeros

The Moon has already hiddenYa se ocultó la Luna
Lunatic MoonLuna lunera
And opened her windowY ha abierto su ventana
The charcoal maker, the charcoal maker, motherLa piconera, la piconera, mare
And the charcoal makerY el piconero
Goes to the mountains singingVa a la sierra cantando
With the bright star, with the bright starCon el lucero, con el lucero

The day is coming, it’s coming, motherYa viene el día, ya viene, mare
The day is coming, it’s coming, motherYa viene el día, ya viene, mare
With the olive groves illuminating his faceAlumbrando su cara los olivares
With the olive groves illuminating his faceAlumbrando su cara los olivares

Oh, that he says yesAy, que me diga que sí
Oh, that he says noAy, que me diga que no
As no one else has loved himComo no le ha querido ninguna
I love himLe quiero yo

My charcoal maker, like the charcoalMi piconero, como el picón
Because of you, little culpritPor tu culpa, culpita
My heart is black, so blackYo tengo negro, negrito, mi corazón
Because of you, little culpritPor tu culpa, culpita
My heart is black, so blackYo tengo negro, negrito, mi corazón

My charcoal maker wears a silk sashFaja de seda lleva mi piconero
And an embroidered MarsellésY un marsellés bordao'
Of velvet, of velvetDe terciopelo, de terciopelo
Mother, and on his hatMare, y en el sombrero
A ribbon that saysUna cinta que dice
I would die for you, I would die for youPor ti, me muero, por ti, me muero

The day is coming, it’s coming, motherYa viene el día, ya viene, mare
The day is coming, it’s coming, motherYa viene el día, ya viene, mare
With the olive groves illuminating his faceAlumbrando su cara los olivares
With the olive groves illuminating his faceAlumbrando su cara los olivares

Oh, that he says yesAy, que me diga que sí
Oh, that he says noAy, que me diga que no
As no one else has loved himComo no le ha querido ninguna
I love himLe quiero yo

My charcoal maker, like the charcoalMi piconero, como el picón
Because of you, little culpritPor tu culpa, culpita
My heart is black, so blackYo tengo negro, negrito, mi corazón
Because of you, little culpritPor tu culpa, culpita
My heart is black, so blackYo tengo negro, negrito, mi corazón
