A Gracielita

In the distance, maybe tomorrow, beautiful Graciela
Even if I don’t want to part from you, ah, damn
In a swift flight to another land, my dear
Carrying the wound of longing, oh, rekove

I implore you, my little Grace, with all my soul
In that hour of my absence, anihag̃ua
Forget the sweet promise that bloomed
For my happiness, those lips of yours, chéve g̃uarã

But never think, my sweet love, that there’s deceit
In my words, hidden art, ñe'ê japu
Though far away, my little Grace, fate may take me
From you, my love, death could come for me

Goodbye, Graciela, wild queen, beloved woman
Caaguaceña flower of the jungle, mainumbymi
If you wait for me like before, one morning
From the distance, I’ll come to find you, che irûrãmi
