Lamento Provinciano

On a serene night
of perfume and rumor
he told her with much sorrow
I give my life for your love.

But she didn't want to love him
and she mocked his love
and the singer kept moving away
kept moving away, never returned.

It's something that happened
back in Valledupar,
a sad lament is heard
the night is long to sob (Repeat).

From afar you can hear
the notes of an accordion
entwined in the wind
proclaiming their great pain.

It was never known again
about the fate of the singer,
they only say that at night
a soul grieves for a love.

It's something that happened
back in Valledupar,
a sad lament is heard
the night is long to sob (Repeat).
