Mi Ranchito
Antonio Aguilar
Lyrics
Translation
Allá al pie de la montaña
There at the foot of the mountain
Donde temprano se oculta el Sol
Where the sun hides early
Quedó mi ranchito triste
My little ranch remained sad
Y abandonada de a mi labor
And abandoned from my work
Ahí me pasé los años
There, I spent the years
Ahí encontré mi primer amor
There, I found my first love
Y fueron los desengaños
And it was the disappointments
Los que mataron a ilusión
That killed the illusion
Ay corazón que te vas
Oh, heart, that you're leaving
Para nunca volver, no me digas adiós
Never to return, don't tell me goodbye
No te despidas jamás, si no quieres saber
Never say farewell if you don't want to know
De la ausencia el dolor
The pain of absence
Malhaya los ojos negros
Cursed be the black eyes
Que me embrujaron con su mirar
That bewitched me with their gaze
Si nunca me hubieran visto
If they had never seen me
No fueran causa de mi penar
They wouldn't be the cause of my sorrow
Ay corazón que te vas
Oh, heart, that you're leaving
Para nunca volver, no me digas adiós
Never to return, don't tell me goodbye
Vuelve a alegrar con tu amor el ranchito
Come back to bring joy to the little ranch
Que fue de mi vida e ilusión
That was my life and illusion
Malhaya los ojos negros
Cursed be the black eyes
Que me embrujaron con su mirar
That bewitched me with their gaze
Si nunca me hubieran visto
If they had never seen me
No fueran causa de mi penar
They wouldn't be the cause of my sorrow
