You promised me your heart
I'll take you to Deep Ravine
In my little ranch with your love
We will always be happy.

The fragrant flower
of the humble chañar
in the warm mornings
invites me to dream
the wind will bring us
like a blessing
cooing of doves
through the alley
and the sun rays
filtering through the mishtol
will give very tender hopes
to my love.

There in Deep Ravine with your love
my dreams will mature
there will be no sorrows, no pain
my dream will be happiness.

It will be a nest of love
of love, tenderness, and faith
country songs
I will sing to you.
In the morning you will hear
the trill of the thrush
and the cheerful calandria
will greet you
the breeze will carry
songs from the past
whispers of the Sweet River
that saw me born.
