Lyrics

Español

En el andén, la tarde que partía, te juré, ¡volveré!, ¡espérame!. Han pasado muchos años y esa tarde esta lejana, muchachita provinciana. Tu buen amor, lo he perdido en Buenos Aires, se me extravió, en el laberinto de sus calles. Y es por eso que te escribo, esta carta en que te pido, que perdones mi traición. ¡Adiós! Mi novia provinciana, adiós. Cualquier mañana, cuando vayas a rezar, por nuestro amor, murmura una oración de paz. ¡Adiós! Mi novia provinciana, adiós. Junto al arroyo, donde esta el sauce llorón, arroja aquel anillo que te di. En vano fue, atar a una promesa nuestro amor, otro amor rompió el ayer. Son las cosas del destino que suceden sin pensarlas, y nos cambian el camino. Es casi heroica tu paciencia femenina, yo comprendo tu amargura pueblerina. Muchachita enamorada, que solita, que olvidada, te dejó mi ingratitud.

On the platform, the afternoon I was leaving, I swore to you, I'll be back, wait for me. Many years have passed and that afternoon is far away, little provincial girl. Your good love I lost it in Buenos Aires, it was lost to me, in the labyrinth of its streets. And that is why I am writing you this letter this letter in which I ask you to forgive my betrayal. Farewell! My provincial bride, farewell. Any morning now, when you go to pray, for our love, murmur a prayer of peace. Farewell! My provincial bride, farewell. By the brook, where the weeping willow stands, throw that ring I gave you. In vain was it, to bind our love to a promise, another love broke yesterday. It's the things of destiny that happen without thinking, and change our path. Your feminine patience is almost heroic, I understand your small-town bitterness. Little girl in love, how lonely, how forgotten, my ingratitude left you.
