Paroles et traduction Atahualpa Yupanqui - El Pintor

El Pintor

Creyendo hacer cosa buena
Un pintor me pintó un día
Mas me pintó por afuera, porque adentro no veía

Creyendo hacer cosa buena
Un pintor me pintó un día
Mas me pintó por afuera, porque adentro no veía

¿Cuándo vendrá ese pintor que pinte lo que yo siento?
Ganas de vivir la vida sin angustias ni tormentos

Es mal pintor el pintor que me ha pintado ese día
Cantando coplas serranas con la barriga vacía

Es mal pintor el pintor y en esto no hay duda alguna
Pues solo pintó mi poncho y se olvidó de mi hambruna

¿Cuándo vendrá ese pintor que pinte lo que yo siento?
Ganas de vivir la vida sin pesares ni tormentos

Creyendo hacer cosa buena
Un pintor me pintó un día
Mas me pintó por afuera porque adentro no veía

¿Cuándo vendrá ese pintor que pinte lo que yo siento?
Ganas de vivir la vida sin angustias ni tormentos

The Painter

Thinking he was doing me a favor,
A painter painted me one day.
But he painted my outside, because he couldn't see within.

Thinking he was doing me a favor,
A painter painted me one day.
But he painted my outside, because he couldn't see within.

When will that painter come who can paint what I feel?
My desire to live life without anxieties or torments.

He's a bad painter, the painter who painted me that day,
Singing mountain songs with an empty belly.

He's a bad painter, the painter, and there's no doubt about it,
For he only painted my poncho and forgot about my hunger.

When will that painter come who can paint what I feel?
My desire to live life without sorrows or torments.

Thinking he was doing me a favor,
A painter painted me one day.
But he painted my outside, because he couldn't see within.

When will that painter come who can paint what I feel?
My desire to live life without anxieties or torments.
