Arriba Quemando El Sol Lyrics in English Pepe Aguilar
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Arriba Quemando El Sol by Pepe Aguilar from Spanish to English.
Cuando fuí para la pampa
When I went to the pampas
Llevaba mi corazón
I carried my heart
Contento como un chirigue
Happy as a chirigue
Pero allá se me murió
But there it died
Primero perdí las plumas
First I lost my feathers
Y luego perdí la voz
And then I lost my voice
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Cuando vide los mineros
When I saw the miners
Dentro de su habitación
Inside your room
Me dije: mejor habita
I told myself: better live
En su concha el caracol
In its shell the snail
O a la sombra de las leyes
Or in the shadow of the laws
El refinado ladrón
The refined thief
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Las hileras de casuchas
The rows of shacks
Frente a frente, si, señor
Face to face, yes, sir
Las hileras de mujeres
The rows of women
Frente al único pilón
In front of the only pylon
Cada una con su balde
Each one with her bucket
Y su cara de aflicción
And his face of affliction
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Si alguien dice que yo sueño
If someone says that I dream
Cuentos de ponderación
Pondering Tales
Digo que esto pasa en Chuqui
I say this happens in Chuqui
Pero en Santa Juana es peor
But in Santa Juana it is worse
El minero ya no sabe
The miner no longer knows
Lo que vale su sudor
What your sweat is worth
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Me volví para Santiago
I returned to Santiago
Sin comprender el color
Without understanding color
Con que pintan la noticia
What do they paint the news with?
Cuando el pobre dice no
When the poor man says no
Abajo, la noche oscura
Below, the dark night
Oro, salitre y carbón
Gold, saltpeter and coal
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
Y arriba quemando el sol
And above burning the sun
