La Indita

Navegando en los trenes del sur

Sailing on the trains of the south

A una indita muy linda encontre

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
