Coplas Para Mi Hermano
Cuti Y Roberto Carabajal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para ayudarme a cantar,
Tata Dios te estoy pidiendo,
Que quiero ya comenzar.
Esta chacarera triste
Que inunda mi alma de llanto,
Al apagarse tu voz hermano,
Hermano que quise tanto,
Hoy que vuelvo no te encuentro,
Me doy cuenta que no estás
Por la tristeza del viento.
Enséñame tu camino hermano,
Dónde te has ido,
Que te iremos a buscar
Esta noche con amigos.
Si la encuentran no me cuenten,
O si llorando la vieran,
Desvelada su guitarra
Buscando su alma estrellera.
En el silbido de un chango
O en la tristeza del río,
Andará por todas partes
Tu corazón repartido.
A la simpleza yo canto,
Canto a la llama encendida,
Que dejaste a mi alma
Y que yo llevo prendida.
Enséñame tu camino hermano,
Dónde te has ido,
Que te iremos a buscar
Esta noche con amigos.
