Lloraba Un Zagal

Water that by the riverbank
It goes, it goes away
Tears of spring
A young shepherd was crying
A boy who wants to sing
A song that on the bridge
Starts to cry:
Why can't I have
A mother to love
Like other children?
Why don't I find upon waking
The kiss and the song my affection awaits?
How lonely is my path!
How sad is my heart!
Why doesn't my song get heard
Or my heart understood
By the mother I long for?

Water that by the riverbank
It goes, it goes away
Tears of spring
A young shepherd was crying
A boy who wants to sing
A song that on the bridge
Starts to cry:
A young shepherd was crying
A young shepherd was crying
