Minero Soy

I Am a Miner
(I'm taking the drills to the tunnel)
Strong hand and sad life, I am a miner, I am a miner
Hitting rocks and rocks from sunrise to sunset, from sunrise to sunset
It hurts the bread I earn, I am a miner, I am a miner
It hurts the bread I earn, I am a miner, I am a miner
(Poor miners, what good boys they are)
But they have the misfortune of dying without confession
Of dying without confession
(It hurts the bread I earn, I am a miner)
Better times will come
Better times will come
Better times will come, I am a miner, I am a miner
I'm taking the drills to the tunnel
Strong hand and sad life, I am a miner
Better times will come, I am a miner
It hurts the bread I earn, I am a miner
I am a miner, I am a miner
