Paroles et traduction Luna Monti - Viejo Cantor

Viejo Cantor

Viejo cantor, viejo amigo del vino y del asao
Tenés el canto alegre y el corazón desafinao

Cuando cantas, se arrebata tu cuerpo en la canción
Tu gesto es melodía y te marca el pulso el corazón

Jah, equivocado porque crees que callarte te ha centrao
Si te carcome el pecho cada sonido que has guardao
Viejo cantor, vas callao y la vida se te va
Quémala con canciones, que no se apague así nomás

Viejo cantor, que por viejo 'tás medio resignado
No es tarde para hacer lo que desde siempre vos has deseao

Tu cuerpo está pa guardar el secreto de tu voz
Y adentro van juntitos entreveraos, alma y canción

Viejo callao, que se ve que sufrís y no cantás
Me roza tu silencio y me vienen ganas de llorar
Viejo cantor, vas callao y la vida se te va
Quémala con canciones, que no se apague así nomás

Old Singer

Old singer, old friend of wine and asado
You have a cheerful song and a heart out of tune

When you sing, your body is carried away in the song
Your gesture is melody and your heart marks the pulse

Oh, you're mistaken because you think that silencing yourself has centered you
If your chest is eaten away by every sound you've kept inside
Old singer, you're quiet and life is slipping away
Burn it with songs, don't let it fade away like that

Old singer, you're half resigned because you're old
It's not too late to do what you've always desired

Your body is meant to keep the secret of your voice
And inside, they're intertwined, soul and song

Old man, you're quiet, I can see you suffer and you don't sing
Your silence rubs against me and I want to cry
Old singer, you're quiet and life is slipping away
Burn it with songs, don't let it fade away like that
