Lyrics and translation Atahualpa Yupanqui - Hay leña que arde sin humo (Remastered)

Hay leña que arde sin humo (Remastered)

"Carrero" dicen por ahí
Como quien dice "carreta"
"Carrero" dicen por ahí
Como quien dice "carreta"

Cosa que en el mundo va de arrastro
Y a 'ande la llevan
Cosa que en el mundo va de arrastro
Y a 'ande la llevan

Hombre que a paso de buey
Se recorre la existencia
Hombre que a paso de buey
Se recorre la existencia

Y al mesmo paso tardido
Quiere, sufre, vive y piensa
Y al mesmo paso tardido
Quiere, sufre, vive y piensa

Y güeno, qué se va a hacer
Quédense con sus creencias
Y güeno, qué se va a hacer
Quédense con sus creencias

De eso no enseñan los libros
La vida tiene otras letras
De eso no enseñan los libros
La vida tiene otras letras

Hay leña que arde sin humo
Cada cual
Quema su leña

There's Wood That Burns Without Smoke (Remastered)

"Cart driver," they say around here, my love
Like saying "cart," you see.
"Cart driver," they say around here, my love
Like saying "cart," you see.

Something in this world that gets dragged along, my dear
And wherever they take it.
Something in this world that gets dragged along, my dear
And wherever they take it.

A man who, at an ox's pace, my sweet
Journeys through existence.
A man who, at an ox's pace, my sweet
Journeys through existence.

And at the same slow pace, my darling
He loves, suffers, lives, and thinks.
And at the same slow pace, my darling
He loves, suffers, lives, and thinks.

Well, what can you do, my love?
Let them keep their beliefs.
Well, what can you do, my love?
Let them keep their beliefs.

Books don't teach about that, my dear
Life has other lessons.
Books don't teach about that, my dear
Life has other lessons.

There's wood that burns without smoke, you know
Each one
Burns their own wood.
