El Forastero

That night when you
Went to get firewood by the river
Everyone predicted
A gloomy feeling

The little flower of the town
Went to get firewood by the river
And since it's already night
Many reproaches are heard

I'm a local and I hope
For the love I want from you
Why go look for firewood by the river
If the stranger will be there

You're not in love with me
Just infatuated with him
Why erase in one day
The freshness of the flower

I don't want to go to the meeting
Because the stranger will be there
And I'm wary
Of the one who takes away your love

As dawn arrives
I want you to forget me
I don't forgive the wicked
Who gave themselves to a stranger

Chorus:
How bad the stranger is
How bad the stranger is
How bad the stranger is
How bad the stranger is
