Albada de La Ausencia
José Antonio Labordeta
Dawn of Absence
I say goodbye to my land
To my mountains and rivers
I leave because I'm pushed
I never wanted this
I leave because I'm pushed
I never wanted this
Although I'm leaving, I'm not leaving
Although I'm leaving, I'm not absent
Although I'm leaving in person
I stay in thought
Although I'm leaving in person
I stay in thought
I'm pushed by so much reluctance
The barren estates
I'm pushed by those who stay
Taking advantage of our rivers
I'm pushed by those who stay
Taking advantage of our rivers
To all in this house
May God give them health and life
Wheat for the whole year
And peace in the farewell
Wheat for the whole year
And peace in the farewell
I hope that in a year
In three or four
We all sing the Dawn
In freedom and good treatment
We all sing the Dawn
In freedom and good treatment
