Guitarra, guitarra [English translation]
Guitarra, guitarra [English translation]
Oh guitar! Guitar, please
Open my chest with a plaintive key.
Guitar, do silence
That sound which aggrieves me
As it pours deep longing all over me.
Oh guitar! Guitar, you'll feel sorrow;
Don't strum silence for just one man!
Guitarra, your moaning
Comes to cause me greater pain,
Like the wind caressing the cold night...
[Chorus:]
Guitar, do silence
That sound which aggrieves me
For, if I hear you weep
I shall weep myself!
More than the wood
With which they've made you
Oh guitar, your world is where I die...
Oh guitar! Guitar, please
Open my chest with a plaintive key.
[Instrumental]
Oh guitar! Guitar, do stay silent!
Without you, maybe my soul will delude itself...
You'll have to respond
For this deadly instinct
To the weight of this immense longing!
[Chorus:]
Guitar, do silence
That sound which aggrieves me
For, if I hear you weep
I shall weep myself!
More than the wood
With which they've made you
Oh guitar, your world is where I die...
Oh guitar! Guitar, please...
