Viejo Farol
El Caballero Gaucho
Old Lantern
Old lantern that illuminated my sorrows
That night I wanted to forget
Today I see your taciturn and sickly light
As if you were tired of shining
You remember her, I remember her
How she lied swearing love to me
Today in the mist of time I get lost
Crying the anguish of my disappointment
How the lantern shone
That night when I saw you for the first time
Her eyes were a sun
And in her smile, spring blossomed
Today only remains from yesterday
Among the cold and bleeding mist of the years
More than sorrows and disappointments
But in my anguish, I love you more
Today only the two of us are in life
Living our sorrows by chance
I go crying for a lost illusion
And you are dying tired of shining
If she were to come back to implore tenderness
I would forget that she made me suffer
She would be the comfort to my misfortune
With tender kisses, I would live again
How the lantern shone
That night when I saw you for the first time
Her eyes were a sun
And in her smile, spring blossomed
Today only remains from yesterday
Among the cold and bleeding mist of the years
More than sorrows and disappointments
But in my anguish, I love you more
