Lyrics
Hace su nido el hornero
a lo largo del camino,
por sostén teniendo un poste,
el motivo es el amor.
Y si manos traicioneras
le destruyen el abrigo,
al otro día, contento,
levanta un nido mejor.

Yo también, como el hornero,
tuve mi abrigo.
Y la mano del destino
lo destruyó.
Al igual que el pajarito,
quedé sin nido,
agobiado por la pena
de mi dolor.

No ha de ser mi noche larga,
tal vez brille en mi sendero,
una estrella de esperanza
con un rayo de ilusión.
Y algún día en mi camino,
al igual que el pobre hornero,
he de hallar un pecho amigo
que me de su corazón.
English translation
The baker makes his nest along the road
along the road,
for support having a pole,
the motive is love.
And if treacherous hands
destroy his coat,
the next day, happy,
he raises a better nest.

I too, like the baker,
I had my coat.
And the hand of fate
destroyed it.
Like the little bird,
I was left without a nest,
overwhelmed by the sorrow
of my pain.

It will not be my long night,
perhaps it will shine on my path,
a star of hope
with a ray of illusion.
And someday on my path
like the poor baker,
I shall find a friendly breast
that will give me its heart.
