My six-stringed friend
Won't you play me a tune, my six-stringed guitar?Help me recall times of old.
Your wails, your sorrowful sounds
intoxicate me more than a strong wine.
See how I take my beloved guitar in my hands,
play a chord and sing along.
I sing of my love and youth,
and the girl I love.
(chorus)
Resound, my guitar, so dolefully,
and play my song to the end.
May it fly into the girls' white bosoms
and melt their hearts of ice.
I sang so many griefs, so much happiness,
I shared it all with you.
They were problems, my loved one cheated on me,
but you never were unfaithful.
(chorus)
When my time comes to depart this Earth,
I'll gather my friends and tell them:
'lay down my six-stringed friend next to me in my grave,
and I will wake every dead on Earth!'
Maybe I'll burn in the flames of hell,
maybe I'll end up in paradise.
My six-stringed friend will always help me
and sing of my past life.
(chorus)
and melt their hearts of ice...
