El Jinete

Through the distant mountain
A horseman is riding
He wanders alone in the world
And he goes wishing for death

He has a wound on his chest
He goes with his soul broken
I would like to lose my life
And reunite with his beloved

He loved her more than his life
And he lost her forever
That's why he has a wound
That's why he seeks death

With his guitar singing
He spends whole nights
Man and guitar crying
In the light of the stars

Then he disappears into the night
And although the night is very beautiful
He goes asking God
Take him with her

He loved her more than his life
And he lost her forever
That's why he has a wound
That's why he seeks death
That's why he has a wound
That's why he seeks death
