Paroles et traduction Mercedes Sosa - Viejo Corazón

Viejo Corazón

Hago mía la palabra de Alfredo Ávalos
El gran cantante, el gran cantor de Chacareras
Y yo digo "cómo no te voy a comprender, hermano
Si a mí me está pasando lo mismo"
Te cansó la mentira y la traición
No podemos ser felices en un mundo
Donde prima el egoísmo, la codicia
La mezquindad
Yo todavía sigo andando, pero a vos hermano
Chito Zeballos, se te cansó tu viejo corazón

Eras joven, fuerte, tierno
Noble corazón
Sin reservas para darte en el amor
Lo mismo que yo

Yo era amigo del camino
Con luna o con sol
Peregrino de mil sueños y en amor
Lo mismo que vos

Juntos nos vieron pasar
Cerros, valles, piedras, luna y sol
Siempre juntos por la huella
Íbamos tu y yo

Cajoneándome en el pecho
Me dabas valor
Si el cansancio me empezaba a doblegar
Viejo corazón

Ya te estás poniendo viejo
Pobre corazón
Te presiento ya sin ganas de seguir
Lo mismo que yo

Me ha cansa′o la huella larga
Solo y sin amor
Hoy ansío estarme quieto y descansar
Lo mismo que vos

Ya no nos verán pasar
Cerros, valles, piedra, luna y sol
Somos dos viejos vencidos
Pobre corazón

Andaremos lo que falta
Juntitos los dos
Queda muy poco camino por andar
Viejo corazón

Old Heart

I take the word of Alfredo Avalos as my own
The great singer, the great singer of Chacareras
And I say "how can I not understand you, brother
If the same thing is happening to me."
You got tired of the lies and the betrayal
We can't be happy in a world
Where selfishness, greed
Petty jealousy prevail
I'm still walking, but brother
Chito Zeballos, your old heart is tired

You were young, strong, tender
Noble heart
Without reservations to give in love
Just like me

I was a friend of the road
With moon or with sun
Pilgrim of a thousand dreams and in love
Just like you

Together they saw us pass
Hills, valleys, stones, moon and sun
Always together on the trail
You and I went

Drumming in my chest
You gave me courage
If fatigue began to bend me
Old heart

You're getting old now
Poor heart
I sense you already have no desire to continue
Just like me

The long trail has tired me
Lonely and without love
Today I long to be still and rest
Just like you

They will no longer see us pass
Hills, valleys, stone, moon and sun
We are two old men defeated
Poor heart

We will walk what is left
Together the two of us
There is very little road left to travel
Old heart
