Translation

Si para que me quieras tengo que penar

If I have to suffer for you to love me

Penando siempre vivo no me hagas llorar.

Living in constant suffering, don't make me cry.


Que llanto trae más llanto mi flor de chaguar

My chaguar flower brings more and more tears

Penca se ha vuelto mi alma de espinas nomás.

My soul has become a thorn only.


Espinas que se han hecho carne en mi dolor

Thorns that have turned into flesh in my pain

Dolor que va creciendo lejos de tu amor.

Pain that keeps growing far from your love.


Amor que nos juramos ni te acordarás

Love that we promised, you won't remember

Campesina de otumpa florcita e' chaguar.

Country girl from Otumpa, little chaguar flower.


Yo te encontré solita por suncho corral

I found you alone in Suncho Corral

Aromando la noche y al polvaderal.

Filling the night with fragrance and dust.


Por donosa la luna te vino a buscar

Capricious moon came to find you

Con el violín del viento saliste a bailar.

With the violin of the wind, you went out to dance.


Merodeaban los grillos del viejo sauzal

Crickets roamed the old grove

El gallo de las greñas colgó su cantar.

The rooster with disheveled feathers hung its song.


Amor que nos juramos...

Love that we promised...
