  • An old Mexican song, Guitarras, Lloren Guitarras., something like Guitars, Cry Oh Guitars. The music is fantastic and it seemed to me he wasn’t singing about guitars at all.

    Lyrics translation:

    Guitarras, lloren guitarras,

    Guitars, cry oh guitars

    violines lloren igual;

    violins you cry as well;

    no dejen que yo me vaya

    don’t let me leave

    con el silencio de su cantar.

    with your song silenced.

    Gritemos a pecho abierto

    Let’s yell with a full chest

    un canto que haga temblar

    a song to make tremble

    al mundo que es el gran puerto

    this world that is the great port

    donde unos llegan y otros se van.

    where some arrive and others go.

    Ahora me toca a mí dejarlas,

    Now it’s my turn to leave you,

    ahora me toca a mi marchar;

    now it’s my turn to part

    guitarras, lloren guitarras

    guitars, cry oh guitars

    que ahí queda lleno de amor,

    that there remains so full of love,

    prendido de cada cuerda,

    clinging to each string,

    llorando a mares mi corazón.

    crying oceans, my heart.
