lyrics

Por los caminos que la gente echo al olvido
hay unas huellas de dos ruedas de carreta
ano con ano se escuchaba el rechinido
cuando mi abuelo levantaba su cosecha

Un par de mulas ensillaba muy temprano
encaramado por un lado de mi abuela
con la carreta engrasada de los ejes
echaban vueltas de la casa a la parcela

Cortando elotes y flores de calabaza
y frijol tierno con la vaina madurando
no se bajaba de la espalda su escopeta
por si un venado se anduviera atravesando

Con los becerros dentro de un corral de piedra
metian las vacas para llevarse la leche
en una cueva escondian alcohol de cana
pa que mi abuela se aventara un pajarete

No se me olvidan los andenes de las mulas
ni la carreta con el cargamento encima
se fueron lejos los hermanos de mi padre
y abandonaron sus labores de rutina

Aquellos tiempos tan bonitos ya no vuelven
ni mis abuelos ni mis padres tienen vida
pa que las huellas de esas ruedas se conserven
voy cancelando las entradas y salidas


English Translation:

Through the roads that people have forgotten
There are tracks from two wheels on a cart
Year after year the screeching could be heard
When my grandpa harvested his fields

A pair of mules he’d saddle up early ‘morn
Lifted up to mount by my grandma
With the cart greased up by the axel
Made round trips from the house to the plot

Cutting corncob and pumpkin flowers
And tender beans with ripened pods
His rifle never came down from his back
In case a deer crossed his path

With the calfs inside a stone corral
Brought in the cows so they could milk them
In a cave they’d hide the cane wine
So my grandma could sneak a morning drink

I don’t forget the mules’ path
Nor the cart or the cargo on top
My father’s brothers moved very far away
And left their routine labor

Those precious moments will not come back
Neither grand folks nor my parents are alive
So that those cart tracks could be preserved
I’m blocking entrances and exits
