Lyrics

Vidala, tengo una pena,
Vidala, I have a sorrow,
te quise con mala suerte.
I loved you with bad luck.
Vidala, así es la vida,
Vidala, that's life,
como pa' querer la muerte.
as if to love death.
Mi sangre hubiera dado
I would have given my blood
por defenderte.
to defend you.
Mi amor fue como el viento
My love was like the wind
que no envejece.
that does not age.
Que no envejece, sí,
That does not age, yes,
la ventolera
the gust of wind
se me fue, vidalita
left me, dear Vidalita,
el alma entera.
with the soul entirely.
Anda mi mala estrella
My bad luck is around,
tengo una pena.
I have a sorrow.
