Paroles et traduction Pepe Aguilar - Arriba Quemando El Sol

Arriba Quemando El Sol

Cuando fui para La Pampa
Llevaba mi corazón
Contento como un chirihue
Pero allá se me murió

Primero perdí las plumas
Y luego perdí la voz
Y arriba quemando el sol

Las hileras de casuchas
Frente a frente, sí, señor
Las hileras de mujeres
Frente al único pilón

Cada una con su balde
Y su cara de aflicción
Y arriba quemando el sol

Me volví para Santiago
Sin comprender el color
Con que pintan la noticia
Cuando el pobre dice: "no"

Abajo la noche oscura
Oro, salitre y carbón
Y arriba quemando el sol

Y arriba quemando el Sol
(Y arriba quemando el Sol)
Y arriba quemando el Sol
(Y arriba quemando el Sol)

Y arriba quemando el Sol
(Y arriba quemando el Sol)
Y arriba quemando el Sol
(Y arriba quemando el Sol)
Y arriba quemando el Sol

(Y arriba quemando el Sol)
Y arriba quemando el Sol
(Y arriba quemando el Sol)
Y arriba quemando el Sol

Burning Sun above

When I went to La Pampa,
I brought my heart with me,
Happy as a lark,
But there it died.

First, I lost my feathers,
Then I lost my voice,
And up above, the sun was burning.

The rows of shacks,
Facing each other, sir,
The rows of women,
Facing the only well.

Each with her bucket,
And her face of misery,
And up above, the sun was burning.

I returned to Santiago,
Without understanding the color,
With which they paint the news,
When the poor say: "no."

Down below, the dark night,
Gold, saltpeter, and coal,
And up above, the sun was burning.

And up above, the sun was burning,
(And up above, the sun was burning,)
And up above, the sun was burning,
(And up above, the sun was burning,)

And up above, the sun was burning,
(And up above, the sun was burning,)
And up above, the sun was burning,
(And up above, the sun was burning,)
And up above, the sun was burning,

(And up above, the sun was burning,)
And up above, the sun was burning,
(And up above, the sun was burning,)
And up above, the sun was burning.
