Gotan Project La Vigüela Lyrics

-- La vigüela --

Aqui me pongo a cantar
Al compas de la vigüela
Que el hombre que lo desvela
Una pena estraordinaria
Como la ave solitaria
Con el cantar se consuela

Vengan santos milagrosos
Vengan todos en mi ayuda
Que la lengua se me aniuda
Y se me turba la vista
Pido a mi dios que me asista
En esta ocasión tan ruda

Aqui me pongo a cantar
Al compas de la vigüela

Aqui me pongo a cantar
Al compas de la vigüela
Que el hombre que lo desvela
Una pena estraordinaria
Como la ave solitaria
Con el cantar se consuela

-- The Vigüela --

Here I come singing
To the beat of the vigüela
That a man who reveals it
An extraordinary sorrow
Like a solitary bird
With the singing it comforts

Come miraculous saints
All come to help me
That the tongue is tiding me down
And the sight it's disturbed
I ask tyo god to help me
In this hard time

Here I come singing
To the beat of the vigüela

Here I come singing
To the beat of the vigüela
That a man who reveals it
An extraordinary sorrow
Like a solitary bird
With the singing it comforts

* Vigüela. Name given to two different guitar-like string instruments: one from 16th century Spain, usually with 12 paired strings, and the other, the Mexican vihuela, from 20th century Mexico with five strings and typically played in Mariachi bands.
