La Embarcación
Miguel Aceves Mejía
The Boat
The boat is leaving now,
It goes quickly,
It takes my companion,
Oh, the owner of my love.
I don't cry because you're leaving,
I don't cry because you're moving away,
I cry because you leave me
wounded in the heart.
On the other side of the river
I have a store in unity,
with a sign that says:
The boat is leaving now.
When I left my land
I wanted to go back,
Oh, how bitter are the hours
for the one who has to return.
I don't bid farewell
because I don't bring it here,
I left it in California
so they remember me.
The boat is leaving now
