Vidalita of the daggers

(Vidalita)

Gaucho vidalita, vidalitay,
you seem like you're crying;
what are the sorrows, vidalitay,
that you're forgetting.
I forgot a few, vidalitay,
that are looking for me.

Bird that sings, vidalitay,
heart of a lark,
fly to my land, vidalitay,
heart in shadows.
Tell them that in my flesh, vidalitay,
your blood names it.

Sad vidalita, vidalitay,
of the wounded homeland,
find me a memory, vidalitay,
to ease my life.
Sing me a verse, vidalitay,
ones that are forgotten.

Sister vidalita, vidalitay,
if you keep singing,
look for other accents, vidalitay,
without how or when.
The daggers lie, vidalitay,
that you're stabbing me.
