A Gracielita

In the distance, maybe tomorrow, beautiful Graciela
Even if I don’t want to, I can’t stay away from you, hey
The tail's flying, to another land, my dear
Carrying the wound of longing, hey, rekove

I implore you, my little Graciela, with all my soul
In that hour of my absence, ani hagua
Forget the sweet promise that once bloomed
For my happiness, I kiss your lips, cheve guara

But never think, my sweet love, that there’s deception
In my words, hidden art, ñe'e japu
Though far away, my Gracielita, fate takes me
From you, my darling, death could come, omopiru

Goodbye, Graciela, you’re the queen, beloved woman
Caaguazena, flower of the jungle, mainumbymi
If you wait for me, with the past, one morning
From the distance, I’ll come to find you, che irurami
