Lyrics
Yo soy de San Telmo y vengo
Por estos barrios para dejar,
Un verso para las madres
Y mozas de mi ciudad.
 
Yo soy un cantor sincero
Sencillo y sentimental,
Trabajo como el hornero
Y canto como el zorzal.
 
Siempre supe respetar
Al que habló y trató conmigo,
En San Telmo me conocen
Por cantor y buen amigo.
 
Si hay que calmar el dolor
Del que vive padeciendo,
Soy primero en la ocasión
Para aliviar su corazón.
English translation
I am from San Telmo and I come
Through these neighborhoods to leave,
A verse for the mothers
And wenches of my city.
 
I am a sincere singer
Simple and sentimental,
I work like the baker
And I sing like the thrush.
 
I always knew how to respect
To the one who talked and dealt with me,
In San Telmo they know me
As a singer and a good friend.
 
If it is necessary to soothe the pain
Of those who live in pain,
I am first in the occasion
To soothe his heart.

The Cabeceo
