Soy minero [English translation]

I don't curse my luck

because I was born a miner

and though death is surrounding

I'm not scared of dying

I don't envy the money

because what fills me with pride

is to be the best driller

of all Sierra Morena

of all Sierra Morena.

I go down the mine singing

because I know that in the altar

my mother is praying

for the son who leaves

and when I feel a pain

I let my song go.

I'm a miner,

and I cooled down my heart with pick and drill

I'm a miner,

and with beer, wine and rum I take off my sorrows

I'm a driller because nothing scares me

and I only want the sound of a taranta 1

Partner,

hit the hammer to sing to the kid meanwhile,

that to the beat, of the hammer I want

to repeat to the whole world that

I'm a miner

Partner,

hit the hammer to sing to the kid meanwhile,

that to the beat, of the hammer I want

to repeat to the whole world that

I'm a miner
