La Flor Azul

I am left alone
My old tunal
Hearing the river sing
For the carnival

Hope accompanies me
In solitude
When the huairamuyoj whistles
By the salitral

You were a lush tree
Poor heart
A tree left without leaves
Without nests, nor love

Tell, tell chacarera
To that blue flower
That at night I search for her
By the Southern Cross

This lovesick sorrow
Sorrow without end
Seeking to become a song
To make me cry

Amalhaya with the luck
That has befallen me
Singing just to sing
Without being heard

When I remember her eyes
With a sweet gaze
I settle down with my dog
Alone to smoke

Tell, tell chacarera
To that blue flower
That at night I search for her
By the Southern Cross
