La Telesita

Telesita the marijuana sleeve
Your little clothes are torn
By the shores of the Salado
Your steps are lost

Don't ask about your love
Because you will never find it
A comfort to your pain
In the dance you will find

Through those fields of God
Your heart takes you
Without knowing that your dance
Is just an illusion

Prayer dance of love
With its music it led
Bare feet under the Sun
The Telesita arrived

And so they will see you dancing
Crazy at every dawn
As if the dance
Is deep inside your being

Oh! Telésfora Castillo
Your eyes have no shine
You lost it behind the mountain
Or searching for the horizon

With a dreamy drum
And a sentimental violin
A blind man on the guitar
The dance is about to begin

Your hope is lost
Keep dancing and dancing
Your chest carries a pain
But you don't know how to cry

Poor girl that a bonfire
Burned your little body
And in the night of times
The whole town cried for you

And so they will see you dancing
