Un Canto Celestial

Juancho Rois gave me the Virgin
the Virgin of Carmen gave me (Repeat)

And now I have her in Carrizal
the land where I was born

Where Juancho met Martín
and also met Mom (Repeat)

Compadre Juancho I didn't go to your burial
because I didn't want to see you buried
hey compadre I didn't go to your burial
because I didn't want to see you buried

Because that way I imagine
that you are traveling far away
that you are with God up in Heaven
sitting with the Father on His right

Instead here in the cemetery,
compadre, sadness kills me (Repeat)

To my compadre Maño he says
that his farewell was very sad (Repeat)

And to Eudes he also says greetings
send his daughters And to Martín
that I love him very much and to the Virgin bless them

Hey compadre I have suffered a lot
because in San Juan they were going to kill me (Repeat)
the day of your sad departure,
they kicked me out and they don't like me
forgive them compadre Juancho Rois
and don't stop praying for me (Repeat)
