La hija de Juan Simón [English translation]
When my condemnation was over
When my condemnation was over
I was living alone and lost.
She died of grief.
And I, the reason for her death,
know that she died still good (still healthy).
She died of grief.
And I, the reason for her death,
know that she died still good (still healthy).
She was buried in the afternoon,
the Juan Simón's daughter,
Simón was in the city
Simón was in the city
The only gravedigger.
He himself carried his daughter
to the graveyard
He himself digged her grave
He himself digged her grave
as he whispered a prayer.
One of his hands he held the shovel,
and on his shoulder a hoe
His friends asked him,
everybody asked him:
"Where did you come from, Juan Simón?"
"I am the gravedigger and I come,
I am the gravedigger and I come
to bury my heart."
