La Eche En Un Carrito

Vengo a decirle a la que no me supo amar

I come to tell her who didn't know how to love me

Que chifle a su madre

To whistle at her mother

Ya la voy a abandonar

I'm going to abandon her now

La eché en un carrito

I put her in a little cart

Que la fueran a tirar

They were to take her away

Lejos, muy lejos

Far away, very far away

Donde no vaya a apestar

Where she won't stink

Pero mi orgullo es que yo no le sé rogar

But my pride is that I don't know how to beg

Que chifle a su madre

To whistle at her mother

Ya la voy a abandonar

I'm going to abandon her now

Le di un pasaporte

I gave her a passport

Pa' que se fuera a pasear

So she could go for a walk

Allá por el norte

There in the north

Por allá, se ha de quedar

Over there, she will stay

Pero mi orgullo es que yo no le sé rogar

But my pride is that I don't know how to beg

Que chifle a su madre

To whistle at her mother

Ya la voy a abandonar

I'm going to abandon her now

Esos amores que nunca han sido sinceros

Those loves that have never been sincere

Sufren la desdicha

They suffer the misfortune

De la triste soledad

Of sad loneliness

Le hice un violín

I made her a violin

Un arpa y una guitarra

A harp and a guitar

Pa' que se fuera

So she could go

Su derrota, a lamentar

To regret her defeat

Pero mi orgullo es que yo no le sé rogar

But my pride is that I don't know how to beg

Que chifle a su madre

To whistle at her mother

Y que la vuelva a chiflar

And let her be whistled at again
