Paroles et traduction SES - A Chamuscada

A Chamuscada

A chamuscada foi como me alcumaron
Porque a pólvora queimou as miñas mans,
Toda a revolta vivín entre disparos,
As súas pegadas xamais se borraran.

Non houbo home ou soldado ao que quixera,
Dentro da tropa ningún me namorou,
Só a meu pai, eu lle fun leal soldadeira
E na contenda unha bala o alcanzou.

E cando escoito cantar esta tonada
Sinto de súpeto as lágrimas brotar,
Pero non choro, pois son son a chamuscada
Que por valente, cheguei a xeneral.

Eu vin meu pai morrer entre os meus brazos
E vin tamén o traidor que o matou,
Ao misarábeldinlle catro balazos
Coma unha criba deixeille o corazón.

Desde aquel día xa non fun soldadeira,
Tiven repleta acanana eo fusil,
E nas batallas fun sempre a primeira,
A balanceirafacíame sorrir.

E cando escoito cantar esta tonada
Sinto de súpeto as lágrimas brotar,
Pero non choro, pois son son a chamuscada
Que por valente cheguei a xeneral.

The Scorched One

The scorched one was how they nicknamed me
Because the gunpowder burned my hands,
I lived through the whole revolt amidst gunfire,
Its traces will never be erased.

There was no man or soldier I desired,
Among the troop none made me fall in love,
Only to my father, I was a loyal soldier
And in battle a bullet struck him.

And when I hear this tune being sung
I feel the tears suddenly well up,
But I don't cry, because I am the scorched one
Who, through valor, became a general.

I saw my father die in my arms
And I also saw the traitor who killed him,
I gave the wretch four bullets
Left his heart like a sieve.

From that day on I was no longer a soldier,
I kept my pouch full and my rifle ready,
And in battles I was always the first,
The balance made me smile.

And when I hear this tune being sung
I feel the tears suddenly well up,
But I don't cry, because I am the scorched one
Who, through valor, became a general.
