Soledad La de Barracas
Edmundo Rivero
Solitude of Barracas
Although I didn't go to school
I never missed anyone
Today I'm feeling a bit cheerful
With a few drinks too many
It's just that evoking the past
I felt like celebrating
Since I'm not used to it
Half a glass makes me feel bad
Sorry if I've gone too far
I don't like to bother
But I talk too much
When I have a couple of drinks
And I start to remember
It was in Barracas
They called her Soledad
There was no prettier girl
Soledad, from Barracas
Who brought me loneliness
To serve you, Vallejo
Quite old enough
I've had better days
And I knew how to behave like a gentleman
One is either up or down
Depending on what the heart dictates
Everything has changed in my life
Because of a love story
Sorry if I've gone too far
I don't like to bother
But I talk too much
When I have a couple of drinks
And I start to remember
It was in Barracas
They called her Soledad
There was no prettier girl
Soledad, from Barracas
Who brought me loneliness
