Paroles et traduction Juan Falu & Liliana Herrero - Juan del Monte

Juan del Monte

Chacarera amanecida
Esa que canta el zorrito
El que roba las gallinas
Y que se queda solito.

Yendo hambriao en los caminos
No le da nadie comida
Anda solo por los montes
Meta pelearle a la vida.

Él no quisiera alabarse
No quiere ser palangana
No hay mujer que no florezca
Pal zorro cada mañana.

Nadie sabe que tiene hijos
Que por sus hijitos llora
Y que por esos zorritos
A los que tienen les roba.

Cuando me le echan los perros
Aparecen todos juntos
Y el zorro en los yuyarales
Lo mismo se les hace humo.

Cuando canta con la caja
Hace llorar la chirlera
Y baila la cola al aire
Albahaca en las dos orejas.

Pobrecito Juan del Monte
Ya lo ha tapado la muerte
Y ella misma va diciendo
Triste que mató a la suerte.

Nadie sabe que tiene hijos
Que por sus hijitos llora
Y que por esos zorritos
A los que tienen les roba.

Juan del Monte

Chacarera at daybreak
That the little fox sings
The one who steals the chickens,
And who is left all alone.

He's walking hungry on the roads,
No one gives him anything to eat,
He walks alone in the forests,
Always struggling to get by.

He wouldn't want to praise himself,
He doesn't want to be a braggart,
There is not a woman who doesn't blossom
For the fox each morning.

No one knows that he has children,,
That for his little children he cries,
And that for those little foxes
He steals from those who have.

When they set the dogs on him,
They all appear together,
And among the weeds,
The fox vanishes away into the smoke.

When he sings with the drum,
He makes the crickets weep,
And his tail dances in the air,
Basil in both of his ears.

Poor Juan del Monte,
Death has already covered him,
And death itself is saying,
He is sad that fate has killed him.

No one knows that he has children,
That for his little children he cries,
And that for those little foxes
He steals from those who have.
