Lyrics
Quejas de un pasado, guitarrero ciego
vidalita triste, recuerdos de amor,
sombras en las calles, sombras en el cielo,
canto que se apaga como una oración.
Trenzas renegridas, latir de emociones,
taperita y lluvia, llorando un adiós.
Y hoy un pobre ciego, ya sin ilusiones,
canta su tristeza con ésta canción:

Palomita mía,
vidalita,
dónde está tu nido...
Y a los ojos del ciego se asoma
Vieja pena que lo hace llorar.
Evocando a la blanca paloma
que volara de su palomar.
Palomita mía,
vidalita,
dónde está tu nido...

Ríe la cigarra de la vida alegre,
sólo la guitarra parece entender,
a esa mano santa que busca en sus notas,
las palabras rotas de aquella mujer.
Trenzas renegridas, latir de emociones,
taperita y lluvia, llorando un adiós.
Sombras en las calles, sombras en el cielo,
Canto que se apaga con voz de dolor.
English translation
Complaints of a past, blind guitar player
sad vidalita, memories of love,
shadows in the streets, shadows in the sky,
song that fades like a prayer.
Braids renegridas, beat of emotions,
taperita and rain, crying a goodbye.
And today a poor blind man, now without illusions,
sings his sadness with this song:

Palomita mía,
vidalita,
where is your nest...
And in the blind man's eyes peeps out
Old sorrow that makes him cry.
Evoking the white dove
that flew from his dovecote.
My little dove,
little vidalita,
where is your nest...

Laughs the cicada of joyful life,
only the guitar seems to understand,
that holy hand that searches in its notes,
the broken words of that woman.
Braids renegridas, beat of emotions,
taperita and rain, crying a goodbye.
Shadows in the streets, shadows in the sky,
Song that is extinguished with a voice of pain.
