El Perdido
Banda La Quimicheña
The Lost One
What luck it was to be poor, and lose the woman I
Loved, that love is gone from the man who for God
I loved forever.
If I could go back to the past without imagining
Losing you, I spent my nights awake and drinking just
For loving you.
If fate were to find you in another man's
Arms, asleep, I thought about taking your life for my kids,
I managed to forgive you.
I ask the blessed virgin to send me such a
Harsh punishment for getting tangled up with you, I left
My parents in the past.
There are moments when sometimes I wish I could change my life for
A drink, because I know that when drunk you forget, and in my mind
I don’t even know what I’m doing.
With the dagger trembling in my hand, like a madman I turned the
Corner, and suddenly I went to the bar to drown this
Sorrow in drinking.
I returned to my town again like the wicked sons
Do, without a woman, without money, without luck, I found my parents
Buried.
I ask the blessed virgin to send me such a
Harsh punishment for getting tangled up with you, I ask
For my parents' forgiveness.
