Carpintero Solitario
Grupo Alegría
Lonely Carpenter
Spoken: Just like the saint, Saint Joseph
I carved and shaped the wood
This song with a lot of love
For many like him
Alin and Augusto Bernardillo
And the Alegría Group
Lonely carpenter, without love, without hope
If the homeland helped him, he’d be in heaven enjoying life
With love, he’d gift blessings to life
Contemplating his fate, he lives alone suffering
From his eyes, I saw
Tears that keep bleeding
If he sleeps, he keeps crying
If he wakes up, he keeps crying
Sad and poor carpenter, giving blessings to life
How sad it all is, his unfortunate life
Because he’s shown himself, unlucky, without blessings
Here’s the poor carpenter, suffering like Christ
Waiting for eviction, the sentence of his death
From his eyes, I saw
Tears that keep bleeding
If he sleeps, he keeps crying
If he wakes up, he keeps crying
