Lyrics

Translation

Como paloma que vaga errante

Like a wandering dove

Sin rumbo fijo ni dirección

With no fixed course or direction

Navego y cruzo los rios y mares

I navigate and cross rivers and seas

Sin paz ni abrigo, ni proteccion

Without peace, shelter, or protection


De sur a norte cual un bohemio

From south to north like a bohemian

Cruze la patria donde naci

I crossed the homeland where I was born

Buscando abrigo, dicha y consuelo

Seeking shelter, happiness, and solace

Y en vano es todo pobre de mi

And in vain, everything is poor for me


Ay, hasta parece que estoy en Huentitlan

Oh, it even seems like I'm in Huentitlan


Perdí a mis padres cuando era un niño

I lost my parents when I was a child

Y en este mundo solo quede

And in this world, I was left alone

Desde ese instante vago sin rumbo

Since that moment, I wander without direction

Y hasta la tumba descansare

And to the grave, I will rest


No tengo padres, hijos, ni hermanos

I have no parents, children, or siblings

Y ni el cariño de una mujer

And not even the affection of a woman

Soy en el mundo tan desdichado

I am so unfortunate in the world

Que lloro a solas mi padecer

That I cry alone in my suffering


Ay, prietas, hasta palomas son buenas

Oh, dark ones, even doves are good

Y aunque sean errantes

And even if they are wandering


Tuve mis hijos y me dejaron

I had children and they left me

Tuve a mis padres y los perdí

I had parents and I lost them

Tuve mujeres y me engañaron

I had women and they deceived me

No hay quien se duela pobre de mi

No one feels sorry for me


Elevo al cielo mis oraciones

I lift my prayers to the sky

Para que calme ya mi sufrir

So that my suffering may cease

Hay Dios eterno no me abandones

Oh, eternal God, do not abandon me

Dame la dicha y el porvenir

Give me happiness and a future
