Carta de Una Mujer Sola
Isabel Parra
Letter from a Lonely Woman
(the music is based on the instrumental theme 'caicaivilú' by víctor jara)
I was once happy,
Peaceful were the days,
But misfortune came;
I lost what I loved the most.
I constantly wonder
Where they have you,
And no one answers me
And you don't come, no.
And you don't come, my soul,
Long is the absence,
And throughout the land
I ask for mercy, yes.
Without you, beloved one,
Life is sad.
