Vengo Del Sur (Je Viens Du Sud)
Michel Sardou · Other Songs - Michel Sardou
adaptation espagnole Joaquín Sabina
Un melancolico tren corre dentro de mi
Mezcla de sangre caliente y vino del pais
Una boda de aldeanos un drama rural
Un camino que del llano a la montaña va
Dentro de mi corazon me llegan luces de ayer
Una vieja con manton canta y muele café
Una casita de piedra vecina del mar
Un cementerio con hiedras una cruz de metal
Vengo del sur y por lejos que esté, volveré
A veces noto en mi voz la pasion de gritar
Atraviesa mi cancion una estrella fugaz
Coleras monumentales que el viento llevo
Veladas interminables en torno al fogor
Vengo del sur y por lejos que esté, volveré
Un melancolico tren corre dentro de mi
Por la ventana se ven trozos de cielo azul
Siempre que muero de sed bebo del manantial
Que en el jardin del ayer esperando me esta
Una casita de piedra una cruz de metal
Un padre bajo la tierra a la vera del mar
Vengo del sur y por lejos que esté, volveré
Y por lejos que esté, volveré.
