Amor En Las Trincheras

Burning a trail of cloud
The afternoon sun was setting
As if cowardly seeking
To hide among the shadows
The grass is the green carpet
That inspires me to write love songs

Lovely face, I found you in love
Through the trenches, amidst
The smoke of the fireworks
Dancing the chacarera
Customs of my land
After the horse races

In the flight of your skirt
My dream was left hanging
The garment that has an owner
Shall not die of longing
Even if her eyes deny it
The 'yes' springs from her heart

Woman from Santiago, love of always
I met you in the trenches
Dancing the chacarera
Amidst the smoke of the fireworks
Your laughter brought me luck
I will keep it until I die

Who would have thought, my girl
To find you on my path
If they are things of destiny
I bless God this day
The soul strives more
When the desire is forbidden

I told you I don't know what things
That came from within me
Overflowing with joy
My heart was galloping
And a fire that burned me
Transformed into feeling

A flight of swallows
Throwing kisses to the sky
In the sign of a handkerchief
Announcing my departure
Don't cry for me, my dear
Time heals everything

Woman from Santiago, love of always
I met you in the trenches
Dancing the chacarera
Amidst the smoke of the fireworks
Your laughter brought me luck
I will keep it until I die
