El negro Cachimbo
Rolando Alárcon
The Black Pipe
(According to the version of Los Cuatro Cuartos)
I am the black Pipe,
the one with the colored hat,
there is not one they have done to me
that they have not paid me back.
I am the black Pipe
born in the mountains
that sings and dances at night
but works during the day.
On the way back, girl,
she will return.
That brunette is yours, Cachimbo,
if you give her your heart.
Black pipebrombo pipebron,
black pipebronbrombo pipebron...
I am the black Pipe
who comes from the heights
to look at myself in the eyes
of one of these beauties.
For some blue eyes
I would give half of my soul,
for some precious black eyes
I would give my whole life.
