El Carbonero
Mercedes Sosa
The Coalman
For you, the coalman's song
Honoring your job under the sun
For the weather asleep in your cart
Of coal, of coal
I hear from your voice, coalman
The blue of your old chant
In August, you offered January
Of coal, of coal
Let's go, coalman
With a destiny of coal
With the fire of dreams
Warming the illusion
That the cold and the night end with the sun
... Ignite in my song and your coal
For the poor, winter is longer
Don't deny them your dark warmth
Bring them closer the dark summer
Of coal, of coal
Let's go, coalman
With a destiny of coal
With the fire of dreams
Warming the illusion
That the cold and the night end with the sun
... Ignite in my song and your coal
For you, the coalman's song ...
