Joan Manuel Serrat "Manuel" lyrics

Translation to:en

Manuel

Le llamaban Manuel, nació en España,su casa era de barro, de barro y caña.Las tierras del señor humedecíansu sudor y su llanto, día tras día.

Mendigo a jornal fijo como él no huboentre olivos y trigos, por un mendrugo.Su casa era de barro, de barro y caña,le llamaban Manuel, nació en España.

Le llamaban Manuel, nació en España,su mundo era otro mundo, tras la montaña.Del amo eran las tierras, camino abajolas moras y las flores de los ribazos.

La mula y los arreos, el pan y el vino,los árboles, las piedras y los caminos.Su mundo era otro mundo, tras la montaña,le llamaban Manuel, nació en España.

Le llamaban Manuel, nació en España,ella guardaba un hijo en sus entrañas.Nunca nada fue suyo, nada tuvieron,por eso lloró tanto cuando murieron.

Él con sus propias manos cavó una fosasepultando sus sueños junto a su esposa.Ella guardaba un hijo en sus entrañas,le llamaban Manuel, nació en España.

Le llamaban Manuel, nació en España,le vieron alejarse una mañana.Del amo era el olivo, donde lo hallarony la soga de esparto que desataron.

Y el pedazo de tierra donde hoy se pudrey el trigo que en la sierra su tumba cubre.Le vieron alejarse una mañana.Le llamaban Manuel, nació en España.

Manuel

They would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain,his home was of mud, of mud and cane.The lands of the master would dampenhis sweat and his sobbing, day after day.

A fixed beggar each day as he had nothingamongst olives and wheat, to a crust of bread.His home was of mud, of mud and cane,they would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain.

They would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain,his world was of another world, behind the mountain.Of the master were the lands, down the roadthe blackberries and flowers of the steep bank.

The mule and the harnesses, the bread and the wine,the trees, the rocks and the roads.His world was of another world, behind the mountain,they would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain.

They would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain,she was guarding a child in her entrails.Never was anything theirs, they had nothing,for this he cried so much when they died.

He with his own hands dug a graveburying his dreams together with his spouse.She was guarding a child in her entrails,they would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain.

They would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain,they saw him go away one morningOf the master was the olive tree, where they found himand the esparto rope that they untied.

And the piece of earth where today he rotsand the wheat that in the mountain range covers his tomb.They saw him go away one morning.They would call him Manuel, he was born in Spain.
