Río Manzanares

Manzanares River, let me pass,
my sick mother sent for me.

Manzanares, Manzanares,
flowing upstream,
for a beautiful woman
I want to lose my life.

Manzanares, Manzanares,
flowing to one side,
for a beautiful woman
I want to die drowned.

My mother is the only star
that lights up my future
and if she happens to die
I'll go to heaven with her.
