Lyrics
Español
¡Ay, ay, ay!… ¡Ay, ay, ay!… Por la noche se oía, En la lejanía, Ayes de dolor… ¡Ay, ay, ay!… ¡Ay, ay, ay!… Y el eco repetía, La queja sombría De un fatal amor. En la paz nocturnal, silente En que el campo parece tumba, El lamento tenue retumba Sin cesar, muy tristón, hiriente. Luego un búho, de cuando en cuando Lanza su tétrico graznido, Que al oírse deja oprimido De pesares el corazón. ¡Ay, ay, ay!... ¡Ay, ay, ay!... Aquella almita en pena, Los aires ahí llena Con su evocación. ¡Ay, ay, ay!... ¡Ay, ay, ay!... En la noche serena, Parece una quena Su lamentación. En la arista del monte, un día, Sobre unas matas, estirado, Al pobre indio lo han hallado Que lloraba en su agonía. Por sus males le preguntaron Y al hablar, tristemente dijo: “Ella se fue llevando a mi hijo... ¡Por mi cacique moriré!”
English · machine translation
Oh, oh, oh, oh!... Alas, alas, alas!.... At night it could be heard, In the distance, Ayes of pain... Woe, woe, woe!... Alas, alas, alas!... And the echo repeated, The somber complaint Of a fatal love. In the silent, nocturnal peace When the field seems like a tomb, The faint lament rumbles Ceaselessly, very sad, hurtful. Then an owl, from time to time Throws its gloomy hoot, That when heard leaves oppressed With sorrowful heart. Alas, alas, alas!... Alas, alas, alas!... That little soul in sorrow, She fills the air With her evocation. Oh, oh, oh, oh!... Oh, oh, oh, oh!... In the serene night, It sounds like a quena Its lamentation. On the edge of the mountain, one day, On some bushes, stretched out, The poor Indian was found Weeping in his agony. They asked him about his woes And speaking, sadly he said: "She went away taking my son! For my cacique I will die!"
