Huaico Hondo

You promised me your heart
To Huaico Hondo I will take you
In my little ranch by the hearth
We will always be happy

The perfumed flower
Of a humble chañar
In the warm mornings
Invites me to dream

The wind will bring us
Like a blessing
Lullabies of doves
Through the alley

And the sun rays
Filtering through the cactus
Will give very tender hopes
To my love

In Huaico Hondo next to your love
My dreams will rest
There will be no more sorrows, no more pain
My dreams will be happiness

It will be a nest of love
Of love, tenderness, and faith
Songs of my land
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 you
Songs of yesterday
Whispers of the Sweet River
That saw me born
