La Despedida
Los Chalchaleros
The Farewell
I've come to your ranch
For the last time,
To bid you farewell
And then leave.
Only god knows the sorrows,
That I carry as I leave.
Maybe one day as you walk,
You'll remember me.
Women are tyrants,
I can assure:
They love and forget men
Easily.
Leafless tree,
Withered and without flowers,
Bird flying aimlessly,
That's my life.
If loving you was a sin,
Forgive me, my love:
Your hated one is leaving now,
Never to return.
Soar high, dove,
If you don't love me;
If you have another owner,
Stay with him.
The moon rose in the sky
And gave its light;
But upon seeing your beautiful eyes,
It hid again.
Leafless tree,
Withered and without flowers,
Bird flying aimlessly,
That's my life.
