A Charanga

The Brass Band

A Charanga

By the riverbank I arrived where myPola beira do río chegaba onde minhe
the noise of the brass band,o ruído da charanga,
and following it moving, I found the path and it was also the brass band.e ó segui-lo bulir, atopei o camiño e tamén foi a charanga.

People singing dancing and drinking ribeiroXente que canta bailando e bebendo ribeiro
and a girl crying under a chestnut tree.e unha mociña chorando baixo un castiñeiro.

Tell me who you are, girl with the sad gaze,Dime quen es ti rapaza do triste ollar,
I am a lost traveler,eu son un camiñante perdido,
I am wounded, I am your friend.eu estou ferido, eu son, o teu amigo.

She told me that her winds would never returnContoume que o seu ventos xamais voltaría
and trembling her voice, her crying continuede tremendo a súa voz, o se pranto seguía
I spoke of loves and beautiful things.eu falei dos amores e de cousas belidas.

She did not reply and her crying continued,Ela non replicou e o seu pranto seguía,
throw your ribs to the wind, come with me,bota as costiñas ó vento, ven comigo,
your hands in these hands, you already have a friend.as túas mans nestas mans, xa tes un amigo.

Between turns and turns a smile was born,Entre voltas e voltas naceu o sorriso,
among people, so good,entre xentes, tan boas,
among kisses, among laughs,entre bicos, entre risos,
between turns and more turnsentre voltas e máis voltas
it got lost, from mese perdeu, de min
where does it go, where does it go?.¿onde vai, onde vai?.

I miss you, and your tendernessTeño saudade de ti, e a túa tenreza
in that piece of a brass band.naquela peza dunha charanga.
