La Solitaria
Mercedes Sosa
The Lonely One
Tempering the stain of loneliness
I got lost in the mountains
That in the city there isn't
So that freedom wouldn't see me
And the name that makes me cry so much
I woke up from the wine
That makes me forget
Those two bright stars
That know how to speak
And this joyful song
That is friendship
Knowing that there's someone
Who loves for the sake of love
Oh when I return
Without anyone seeing me
I will go sing
To the forgotten ones
Because I don't want
Them to see me
With both eyes teary
I will go search
Among the songs
For a warm skin
To forget pains
Some being who knows
About loves and doubts
Or a skin that has never
Been very pure
Among chacareras
Dreams and vidalas
From the very land
I will build my house
So that the forgotten ones
May always come
Who, except for luck,
Have all been struck.
