El Jinete

Across the distant mountain
Rides a lone rider
Wandering all alone in this world
And wishing for death

He carries a wound in his heart
With a shattered soul inside
He wishes to lose his life and
Be reunited with his love
He loved her more than his own life
And lost her forever

That's why he carries a wound
That's why he seeks death
That's why he carries a wound
That's why he seeks death
For that rider
Who wanders through the world

With his guitar, he sings
Spending whole nights awake
A man and his guitar crying
Under the light of the stars

Then he gets lost in the night
And though the night is so beautiful
He keeps asking God
To take him away with her

He loved her more than his own life
And lost her forever
That's why he carries a wound
That's why he seeks death
That's why he carries a wound
That's why he seeks death
