Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Guitarra Del Joven Soldado by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
La guitarra del joven soldado
The young soldier's guitar
Es pecosa y discreta.
She is freckled and discreet.
Es tan tímida que sólo canta
She is so shy that she only sings
Pasadas las diez.
Past ten.
Cuando tocan silencio ella espera una hora
When they play silence she waits an hour
Y se escurre de puntas, los pies,
And she slips on her toes, her feet,
Y en el monte, debajo de un árbol,
And in the mountains, under a tree,
Suelta al viento su amor y su fe.
She releases her love and her faith to the wind.
Es recluta también
she is a recruit too
La guitarra del joven soldado
The young soldier's guitar
Revela secretos,
She reveals secrets
Se desata por una mirada
She is unleashed by a look
En arpegio de amor.
In arpeggio of love
Cada instante le pide tonadas y sones,
She every moment she asks for tunes and sones,
Canciones que nunca escuchó,
Songs she never heard
Y buscándolas siempre amanece
And looking for them always dawns
Procurando un acorde mejor.
Looking for a better chord.
La guitarra del joven soldado
The young soldier's guitar
Hoy tampoco durmió.
She today she didn't sleep either.
La guitarra del joven soldado
The young soldier's guitar
Es la celosa amante que lo ha de seguir
She is the jealous lover who has to follow him
En la dicha y también en el llanto,
In happiness and also in tears,
Pero siempre ayudando a vivir.
But always helping to live.
La guitarra del joven soldado
The young soldier's guitar
Es su mejor fusil;
It is the best rifle of him;
Es su mejor fusil,
It is the best rifle of him,
Es su mejor fusil.
It is the best rifle of him
