Adiós Ríos, Adiós Fontes

Goodbye Rivers, Goodbye Fountains
Goodbye, rivers, goodbye, fountains
Goodbye, small streams
Goodbye, sight of my eyes
I don't know when we'll see each other
My land, my land
Land where I was raised
Beloved garden
Little fig trees I planted
Meadows, rivers, groves
Pine forests swayed by the wind
Chirping birds
Little house of my joy
Mill by the chestnut trees
Clear moonlit nights
Chiming bells
Of the village church
Blackberry bushes
That I gave to my love
Paths among the cornfields
Goodbye forever goodbye!
Goodbye, glory! Goodbye, joy!
I leave the house where I was born
I leave the village I know
For a world I have not seen!
I leave friends for strangers
I leave the meadow for the sea
I leave, in the end, all that I love
If only I could stay!
Goodbye, goodbye, I'm leaving
Grasses of the cemetery
Where my father was buried
Grasses I kissed so much
Land that raised us
Already far away, very far away
The bells of the orchard can be heard
For me, alas, poor me
They will never ring again
Already far away, even farther
Each toll is a pain
I go alone, without support
My land, goodbye, goodbye!
Goodbye also, my dear one
Goodbye forever perhaps!
I say this goodbye crying
From the edge of the sea
Don't forget me, my dear one
If I die of loneliness
So many leagues out at sea
My little house, my home!
Goodbye rivers, goodbye fountains
Goodbye, small streams
Goodbye, sight of my eyes
I don't know when we'll see each other
I don't know when we'll see each other
