El ausente

I have returned from where I was wandering
I was granted to come back
It seemed to me
That I wouldn't see you again
You look like a poppy cut at dawn
(Ay ja ja here comes the absent one, mamacita ah)

If because I come from afar, you deny me the daylight
It seems to me that your hope suffered the same fate as mine
For wandering aimlessly, I lost a love I had

Oh, men ride on horseback
And women ride on mules
And you know who rides on a donkey
Oh, hahaha

Bright little star
From the red cloud
If you have pending love
Bid it farewell
The absent one has arrived and he is not aware of anything
