Original lyrics
Soy minero
Yo no maldigo mi suerte
porque minero nací
y aunque me ronde la muerte
no tengo miedo a morir
no me da envidia el dinero
porque de orgullo me llena
ser el mejor barrenero
de toda Sierra Morena
de toda Sierra Morena.
Bajo a la mina cantando
porque sé que en el altar
mi mare queda rezando
por el hijo que se va
y cuando siento una pena
lanzo al viento mi cantar.
Soy minero,
y templé mi corazón con pico y barrena
soy minero,
y con caña, vino y ron me quito las penas
soy barrenero porque a mi nada me espanta
y solo quiero el sonido de una taranta
Compañero,
dale al marro pa cantarle mientras al niño
que al compás, del marro quiero
repetirle al mundo entero yo
Yo soy Minero
Compañero,
dale al marro pa cantarle mientras al niño
que al compás del marro quiero
repetirle al mundo entero yo
yo soy minero.

Translation
I'm a miner
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
- 1. A palo of flamenco related to the miners chants
