Me despido de mi tierra

De mis montañas y ríos

Me marcho porque me empujan

I leave because they push me

Nunca lo hubiera querido

Nunca lo hubiera querido

Aunque me voy, no me voy

Although I'm leaving, I'm not going

Aunque me voy, no me ausento

Although I'm leaving, I'm not absent

Aunque me voy de persona

Me quedo de pensamiento

Aunque me voy de persona

Me quedo de pensamiento

Me empuja tanta desgana

Los latifundios baldíos

The barren estates push me

Me empujan los que se quedan

Those who remain push me

Provecho de nuestros ríos

Profiting from our rivers

Me empujan los que se quedan

Those who remain push me

Provecho de nuestros ríos

A todos los de esta casa

Dios les de salud y vida

Trigo para todo el año

Wheat for the entire year

Y paz en la despedida

Y paz en la despedida

Dentro de tres o de cuatro

Cantemos todos la Albada

En libertad y buen trato
