El Arbol

(Zamba song)

The tree that you forgot
always remembers you
and asks the night
if you will be happy or not.

The stream has told me
that the tree often says:
- Those who leave gather complaints,
instead of staying here.

To those who travel the world
it often happens like this,
that the heart goes with them
and one has to suffer.
And the tree, that you forgot,
always remembers you.

Little tree from my land,
I would like to tell you,
that what happens to many,
has also happened to me.

I don't want you to tell me,
but I have to hear it:
those who leave gather complaints,
instead of staying here.

To those who travel the world
it often happens like this,
that the heart goes with them
and one has to suffer.
And the tree, that you forgot,
always remembers you.
