El Zorzal

When I was young
I never forget
I lived in a ranch, under a willow
And from its branches
Hung a nest
And there always sang a blackbird
The pretty young girl
Who lived there
In love with that blackbird
Crying always
She told me
When will we have a nest like that

But time passed
As everything passes
Like the glories I dreamed of yesterday
The war came
I left my home
And with my people I also left
But one day
My sad star
Led me to these lands
The nest was not there
She was not there
Alone in the world I remained

But time passed
As everything passes
Like the glories I dreamed of yesterday
The war came
I left my home
And with my people I also left
But one day
My sad star
Led me to these lands
The nest was not there
She was not there
Alone in the world I remained
