¡Ay! Agüita de Mi Tierra
Los Cuatro Huasos
Oh! Water from My Land
Its monotonous march the cart stops
And in the gloomy hours when the Sun is about to set
The carter sings these sorrowful verses
To his ungrateful woman, who tore apart his love
Oh water from my land
That flows clean and serene!
Oh water from my land
That flows clean and serene!
In it, the eyes of my dark-skinned girl are always reflected
Oh water from my land
That flows clean and serene!
If one day I could see myself
Reflected in the depths of your eyes
If one day I could see myself
Reflected in the depths of your eyes
The water from my land
Would be envious
If one day I could see myself
Reflected in the depths of your eyes
And the carter finishes his laments at night
While the oxen walk again with slow steps
Oh water from my land
That flows clean and serene!
