Mi Bendita Tierra

You tell me you're leaving, and I'm very sad
because of that love you had for me
it all ended suddenly
and now you want to start with someone else
that you found a new and great love
that you adore and he adores you too
remember that you promised me the same
but you completely forgot, all of it now

May God forgive you
He knows that I forgave you

I will never hold grudges against you
because you are the love of my loves
I don't take offense at your decisions
it's your freedom and your life
goodbye dear love, may you be happy
may you see life with him, rosy
and never be sad because of me
just go now, don't linger

Because I am very poor, you know it well
I earn six pesos, you want a hundred
and I can't
and even though I work hard, I can't do more
I am from the countryside and he is from the city
but here I stay

A thousand thanks, my heart, for everything
I will never forget you, because it was beautiful
goodbye dear love, God bless you
may you be happy with him all your life

Because I was born in the countryside and grew up there
I don't want to go anywhere, God willing

I am happy, working from sunrise to sunset like this
because the future is in the countryside
and here is my land, this is my land
My blessed land
