Lyrics and translation Joselito - El Emigrante




El Emigrante
The Immigrant
Adiós mi españa querida,
Farewell my beloved Spain,
Dentro de mi alma te llevo metida,
Within my soul I carry you tucked away,
Aunque soy un emigrante jamás en la vida yo podré olvidarte
Although I am an immigrant, never in life will I forget you
Al salir de España un día
As I left Spain one day
Volví la cara llorando
I turned my face and wept
Porque lo que mas quería
Because that which I loved the most
Atrás me lo iba dejando
I was leaving behind
Llevaba por compañera
I had as my companion
A mi virgen de San Gil, un recuerdo y una pena y un rosario de marfil
My Virgin of San Gil, a memory, a sorrow, and a rosary of ivory
