La Copla Perdida

The Lost Ballad
I'm looking for a ballad to carry my voice
To the starry night of wine and guitar of a singing monkey
To the starry night of wine and guitar of a singing monkey
I have a little box to knock, missing the ballad to sing
From the end of the chayas, don't want to go back
You must find the chayero, his basil withered, there's no singing power
You must find the chayero, his basil withered, there's no singing power
I have a little box to knock, missing the ballad to sing
Maybe the chayero spirit will find my ballad
And if I find him in February singing in pando, he'll have to give it to me
And if I find him in February singing in pando, he'll have to give it to me
I have a little box to knock, missing the ballad to sing
Ballad, little ballad, you must be found
