Cando vos oyo tocar
Cando vos oyo tocar - Cuatro canciones sobre textos gallegos (Antón García Abril).
Letra: Rosalía de Castro (Cantares gallegos).
Christian Borrelli, contratenor
Rosalía López Sánchez, piano
Cando vos oyo tocar,
Campaniñas, campaniñas
Sin querer torno a chorar.
Cando de lonxe vos oyo
Penso que por min chamades
E nas entrañas me doyo.
Dóyome de dor ferida
Qu’ antes tiña vida enteira
E hoxe teño media vida
Solo media vida me deixaron
Os que d’aló me trouxeron,
Os que d’aló me roubaron
Non me roubarán, traidores
¡Ay! uns amores toliños
¡Ay! uns toliños amores
Qu’os amores xa fuxiron
As soidades viñeron...
De pena me consumiron.
---- english translation ---
When I hear you chime,
Little bells, little bells,
Against my will I break in tears.
When, from afar, I hear you
I think that for me you call
And in my guts I pain myself.
I pain myself of hurt pain
as before I had life complete
And today I have half-life.
Only half-life left me
Those who from there brought me,
Those who from there stole me.
They haven’t stolen me, betrayers,
¡Ah! Some loves a little bit crazy,
¡Ah! Some little crazy loves…
As loves have already run away,
The solitudes came…
In sadness they consumed me.
