Paroles et traduction Alberto Marino - El Barrio Del Tambor

El Barrio Del Tambor

Calles viejas, más mil motas
Vigiladas por un farol
Voz de negro de alma tenebrosa
Voz del barrio del tambor

Fiel candombe, color de sombra
Y candombe en el corazón
Canto oscuro que zumba y asombra
Con la angustia de su son

Recuerdos de las morenas
Vistiendo batas color punzó
Luciendo las azucenas
De sus sonrisas de corazón

Barrio negro, barrio triste
Se ha apagado tu carbón
Barrio negro, ya no existes
Se ha callado tu tambor

Barrio negro, barrio triste
Se ha apagado tu carbón
Barrio negro, ya no existes
Se ha callado tu tambor
Barrio negro, ya no existes
Se ha callado tu tambor

Drumbeat Neighborhood

Old streets, more than a thousand flecks of dust
Watched over by a lantern
Voice of a dark-souled black man
Voice of the drumbeat neighborhood

Loyal candombe, the color of shadows
And candombe in the heart
Dark song that buzzes and astounds
With the anguish of its sound

Memories of dark women
Wearing crimson robes
Displaying the lilies
Of their heartfelt smiles

Black neighborhood, sad neighborhood
Your coal has gone out
Black neighborhood, you no longer exist
Your drum has fallen silent

Black neighborhood, sad neighborhood
Your coal has gone out
Black neighborhood, you no longer exist
Your drum has fallen silent
Black neighborhood, you no longer exist
Your drum has fallen silent
