De Aquellos Cerros Vengo
Atahualpa Yupanqui
Lyrics
Translation
De aquellos cerros vengo, negra querida,
From those hills I come, my beloved black,
a buscar los despojos del alma mía.
To seek the remnants of my soul.
Fresquita y ansiosa yo te la entregué.
Fresh and eager, I handed it to you.
Tu la destrozaste, yo no sé por qué.
You shattered it, I don't know why.
De aquellos cerros vengo, negra querida...
From those hills I come, my beloved black...
Este ponchito mío, de tres colores,
This little poncho of mine, with three colors,
me dice que no fíe de tus amores.
Tells me not to trust your loves.
Palomita ingrata, me has pagado mal,
Ungrateful little dove, you have repaid me ill,
córtate las alas, deja de volar...
Cut your wings, stop flying...
De aquellos cerros vengo, paloma mía.
From those hills I come, my dove.
