about

Canción composta por Marcos do Relicario (2012). Letra de Marcos.

lyrics

Cego o meu canto,
Vellos Nemetatos,
Cantigas escuras
Pos xordos bardos.

Bordón sen zanfona
Non paga a bola,
Gaita sen palleta,
Cego sen peseta.

Gorxa doente
O pobo non aplaude
Seica berras moito
Téñente por tolo.
Enxebre escuridá
A ti che danzo
Pautarei co demo
Antes que colle-lo sacho!

Ai la le lo ai la la! Eu non sei outro cantar,
que se me tiras do fol aturuxo no Luar.
Ai la le lo ai la la! Xa que teño pandeirá
Invocarei ós xordos pra bailares meu cantar.

Folklore das mil linguas
Nun país dun só cantar
Trobar sen ollos
Do sentir ancestral.


English:

Song of the Blind for the Deaf.

Blind is my singing
Old Nemetatos
Dark songs
for the deaf bards

Stick without hurdy-gurdy
doesn’t pay the ball
Pipe without “palleta”
Blind without a penny

Painful throat
people don’t clap their hands
it is said you scream too loud
and they all think you’re mad
Old typical darkness
to you I dance
I would pact with the devil
before taking the weeding hoe!

Ai la le lo ai la la! I know not of any other singing
if you pull my bellows, I'll scream at the full moon.
Ai la le lo ai la la! Now that I have my tambourine
I’ll invoke the deaf ones to dance my song

Folklore of the thousand tongues
in a country of one single song
Recital without eyes
of the ancestral feeling
