Paroles et traduction TANEA - La santina (con David Bustamante) [with David Bustamante]

La santina (con David Bustamante) [with David Bustamante]

Allá por el 34 tu primera comunión,
Una azada y dos velas (lo de azada no me pega mucho, pero es lo que les entiendo cuando cantan)
Y en tu boca una oración.

Día y noche trabajando
Desde que muriera padre
Yo nunca te ví llorando
Lágrimas de pena o hambre.

Cinco hijos, cinco vidas,
Que sacaste adelante
"Es gracias a la Santina"
Tú siempre decías madre.

Nunca olvidaré el día
En el que dije en la ermita:
"Cuando crezca y sea un hombre
Verás a tu Virgencita"

Vete al huerto y corta flores
Ponte guapa y no me llores
No me llores madre mía.

Que no te vea llorando
Esta tarde la Santina.
Que no te vea llorando
Esta tarde la Santina.

Por las noches nos hablabas
De lo guapa que era ella
Y que estaba en Covadonga
Metidina en una cueva.

Que cuidaba de nosotros
De todos los asturianos
Y con brillo en los ojos
Te miraban mis hermanos.

Nunca olvidaré el día...

La santina (with David Bustamante) [con David Bustamante]

Back in '34, your first communion,
A hoe and two candles (the hoe part doesn't make much sense to me, but that's what I hear when they sing it)
And a prayer in your mouth.

Working day and night
Since Father died
I never saw you cry
Tears of sorrow or hunger.

Five children, five lives,
That you raised on your own
"It's thanks to the Santina"
You always said, Mother.

I'll never forget the day
In the chapel when I said:
"When I grow up and become a man
You'll see your Little Virgin"

Go to the garden and cut some flowers
Get pretty and don't cry for me
Don't cry for me, my Mother.

Don't let the Santina see you crying
This afternoon.
Don't let the Santina see you crying
This afternoon.

At night you would tell us
About how beautiful she was
And that she was in Covadonga
Tucked away in a cave.

That she looked after us
All of us Asturians
And with a gleam in your eyes
My brothers would look at you.

I'll never forget the day...
