Translation

En un rincon de la sierra, muy cerquita del huinora

In a corner of the mountain, very close to the Huinora

Se ha ido acabando todo, la gente de pena llora

Everything is ending there, and people cry in sorrow


Unas casas entan solas, sus cobradores se han ido

Some houses are lonely, their collectors have gone

Unos a grandes ciudades, otros al valle perdido

Some to big cities, others to the lost valley


Cuantas fortuna salieron, de esa faldas cibreñales

Many fortunes came from those slopes of cibrenales

Que hoy disfrutan nuevos ricos, en la grandes capitales

That today new rich people enjoy in the big capitals


Esa cerra de domingo, del azul y de aviles

That Sunday mountain, of blue and Aviles

De aquellos tres asendados, poco antes de 33

Of those three landowners, just before '33


Musica parque y cerveza, abundaba en el lugar

Music, park, and beer, were abundant in the place

Ganancias de comerciantes y uno que otro militar

Profits of merchants and the occasional military


Los alisos se cecaron astillados a balazos

The alders dried up, shattered by gunfire

Cuantan vidas se cegaron, ahi señor cuantos fracasos

Countless lives were blinded, oh sir, how many failures


Ese rancho de san felix, del chompa y el frijolais

That ranch of San Felix, of the jacket and the beanfield

Huerfanos madres y viudas, que no podran olvidar

Orphans, mothers, and widows, who will never forget


Adios cerro del huinora, arrasado por los tiempos

Goodbye Huinora Hill, ravaged by time

Fuiste testigo de todo y a volver a pueblos viejos

You witnessed it all and return to old towns
