La Romería
Van subiendo los mozos
con los corderos al hombro
sube la gente contenta a la fiesta del patrono
Sube la niña que estrena
zapatos, novio y un bolso
y todo el verde del valle se refleja en el arroyo
Y la gente por el prado
no dejará de bailar
mientras se escuche una gaita
o haya sidra en el lagar,
mientras se escuche una gaita
o haya sidra en el lagar.
Se van por la carretera
cruzando cuna y cenera
canta la pena el romero y la vieja su consejo
Por San Cosme y San Damián
cuidado neña temprana
no pases el mayizal
no lo riegues con tus lágrimas
Y la gente por el prado
no dejará de bailar
mientras se escuche una gaita
o haya sidra en el lagar
mientras se escuche una gaita
o hay sidra en el lagar.
Hay una empinada cuesta
para llegar a la ermita
y las campanas repican
los romeros van a misa
y el pastor con su rebaño
con su zurrón y las vacas
quiere ser luzo campana
y despertar a su amada
y la gente por el prado
no dejará de bailar
mientras se escuche una gaita
o haya sidra en el lagar
mientras se escuche una gaita
o haya sidra en el lagar.
The Pilgrimage
The young men are going up
with the lambs on their shoulders
happy people climb to the patron's party
The girl climbs up
new shoes, boyfriend, and a purse
and all the green of the valley is reflected in the stream
And the people in the meadow
won't stop dancing
as long as a bagpipe is heard
or there's cider in the cider press,
as long as a bagpipe is heard
or there's cider in the cider press.
They go along the road
crossing cradle and ash
the pilgrim sings his sorrow and the old woman gives her advice
By Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian
careful, young girl
don't cross the cornfield
or water it with your tears
And the people in the meadow
won't stop dancing
as long as a bagpipe is heard
or there's cider in the cider press
as long as a bagpipe is heard
or there's cider in the cider press.
There's a steep slope
to reach the hermitage
and the bells ring
the pilgrims go to mass
and the shepherd with his flock
with his bag and the cows
wants to be a light bell
and wake up his beloved
and the people in the meadow
won't stop dancing
as long as a bagpipe is heard
or there's cider in the cider press
as long as a bagpipe is heard
or there's cider in the cider press.
