La Indita
Banda Rancho Viejo
Lyrics
Translation
Navegando en los trenes del sur
Sailing on the trains of the south
A una indita muy linda encontre
I found a very beautiful indigenous girl
Navegando en los trenes del sur
Sailing on the trains of the south
A una indita muy linda encontre
I found a very beautiful indigenous girl
Que vendia ramilletes de flores
Who sold bouquets of flowers
Recorriendo las vias del tren
Traveling along the train tracks
Encantado de aquella morena
Enchanted by that brunette
Le compre un ramito para mi
I bought a little bouquet for myself
Y al poner la moneda en sus manos
And as I placed the coin in her hands
A la indita formal dije asi
To the indigenous girl, I formally said
Ahy indita que vendes tus flores
Oh, indigenous girl selling your flowers
No le vendas a nadie por dios
Don't sell them to just anyone, for God's sake
Y al calor de un hornito de troya
And in the warmth of a little troya stove
Tu de todas la mas linda flor
You are the most beautiful flower of all
Pero el tiempo y las horas de vuelta
But time and hours took me away
Esos rumbos mi hicieron partir
Those paths made me depart
Yo busque en la estacion a la indita
I searched for the indigenous girl at the station
Pero en cambio mi tiempo perdi
But, instead, I lost my time
Hasta que una señora ya anciana
Until an old lady
Mis tristezas deseaba saber
Wanted to know my sorrows
Me entregue el ramillete marchito
She handed me the withered bouquet
Y me dijo aqui esta a su merced
And said, "Here it is, at your service"
La que viene a buscar ya esta muerta
The one you come to seek is already dead
Y al partir este ramo dejo
And as I leave, I leave this bouquet
Se lo entrega al señor pasajero
It's handed to the gentleman passenger
Que en mi vida fue mi unico amor
Who in my life was my only love
