Martín Tenía Un Violín
Antonio Prieto
Martin Had a Violin
Martin had a violin,
but he never played it,
because he loved Raquel
and she just watched.
Raquel was a cruel woman,
who mocked the poor,
I will only love you,
when you know how to play.
Alone with his violin,
he practiced and practiced,
poor Martin,
hardly made any progress,
but all good effort,
always has a reward
and one day Martin,
dominated his violin.
Martin played the violin
and people were delighted
and even an angel came down
to listen to his tune,
that's when Raquel,
realized how much she loved him
and told Martin,
my heart is yours.
But Martin replied,
there is nothing left of my love,
I only want the violin
and my beloved music
and that's why Raquel died,
feeling rejected,
because true love,
kills mockery.
Raquel..., Raquel...
