La hija de Juan Simón [English translation]

When I finished my sentence

when I finished my sentence

I lived alone and lost.

She died of sadness

and me, the cause of it all,

I knew she died a good person.

They buried her in the afternoon

the daughter of Juan Simon

and Simon in the town

and Simon in the town, ay

was the only undertaker.

He carried his own daughter

to the cemetery

he dug the hole himself,

he dug the hole himself,

mumbling a prayer.

And in one hand he carried the shovel

on his shoulders the hoe

his friends asked him

and everyone was asking

where does Juan Simon come from?

I'm an undertaker and I've come

I'm an undertaker and I've come back from burying my heart.
