La Carbonera
Los Hermanos Toledo
The Charcoal Maker
Selling his coal, there goes the charcoal maker
Announcing in the middle of winter or in the heat of January
Charcoal little monkey with your donkey
And your lively shout that I carry captured
How nice to remember Socko and Cachilo
The charcoal barbecues, their two guitars and the wine
Santiago, you are a mountain and a firewood gatherer
And you are also the coal sparking in the folk dances
I'm starting to know a little about your whims
The glowing coals are the shine in your eyes
Even though I don't see you, I carry you lit
Like embers in the embers, that's how I carry you ignited
That's how my heart is since I was a boy
Burning and enduring like quebracho coal
Santiago, you are a mountain and a firewood gatherer
And you are also the coal sparking in the folk dances
