La Cueca Sola

My life, I was happy once
My life, my days were peaceful
My life, my days were peaceful
My life, but then misfortune struck
My life, I lost what I loved most
My life, I was happy once

I keep asking myself
Where are they keeping you?
And no one answers me
And you don’t come
I keep asking myself
Where are they keeping you?

And you don’t come, my soul
The absence is long
And all over the land
I seek awareness

Without you, my dear
Life is sad
