Canción del árbol del olvido
Victor Jara
Song of the tree of forgetfulness
In my homeland there is a tree
that is called the tree of forgetfulness
where the dying souls
vidalita, go to find solace.
To not think of you
in the tree of forgetfulness
I lay down one night
vidalita, and I fell fast asleep.
Upon waking from that dream
I thought of you once again
for I forgot to forget you
vidalita, as soon as I lay down.
