Paroles et traduction Nano Stern - Dos Cantores

Dos Cantores

En nuestro país "hubieron" dos grandes cantores:
A uno lo mataron y la otra se mató.
No cantaban demasiado lindo esos señores,
Pero cada nota desde el alma les salió.

La guitarra siempre acompañaba sus canciones;
No necesitaban demasiadas cosas más.
Yo nunca los vi, sólo he escuchado grabaciones...
Sus composiciones al derecho y al revés.

Dime a quién le importa cuantos discos se vendieron?
Si salieron en la radio o en televisión.
Ellos son la voz de los que juntos se murieron,
Y ahora son el canto de nuestra generación.

-Fama contra Fama- no me vengan con cuestiones;
Se trata de algunos que cantaron de verdad.
Por favor, no crean que somos todos tan weones...
Yo prefiero el canto a toda esa vanidad.

Two Singers

In our country there were two great singers:
One they killed and the other killed herself.
Those gentlemen didn't sing too beautifully,
But every note came from their souls.

The guitar always accompanied their songs;
They didn't need much else.
I never saw them, I've only heard recordings...
Their compositions, forwards and backwards.

Tell me, who cares how many records were sold?
If they were on the radio or on television.
They are the voice of those who died together,
And now they are the song of our generation.

-Fame against Fame- don't come to me with questions;
It's about some who really sang.
Please, don't think that we are all so stupid...
I prefer singing to all that vanity.
