Lyrics and translation Walter Silva - La Soltera




La Soltera
La Soltera
Una tarde de verano
One summer afternoon
Hay de verano me abandono mi trigueña
My trigueña abandoned me on a summer afternoon
Un pajarito en un mango
A little bird on a mango tree
Lloraba triste como acordándose de ella
Sadly sang as if remembering her
Yo estuve a volverme loco
I was driven nearly mad
Casi una semana entera
For almost an entire week
Al ver que no regresaba
When I saw she wasn't returning
Ni a da una vuelta siquiera
Not even to come around
Corrí el pájaro del mango
I chased the bird from the mango tree
Para que también se fuera
So that it would also go away
Ahí fue que llorando dije
That's when, weeping, I said
Hincado sobre la tierra
Kneeling on the ground
Si le va mal y regresa
If things go badly for her and she comes back
Tengo que desconocerla
I'll have to deny her
Al fin se fue por su gusto
After all, she left of her own accord
No porque yo la corriera
Not because I cast her out
Como ella quería el camino
As she wanted to leave
Estuvo bien que la deje que se fuera
It was right that I let her go
Sera que quiere vivir
Perhaps she wants to live
En este mundo toda la vida SOLTERA
The rest of her life SINGLE in this world
Pero ella lo que no sabe
But what she doesn't know
Que con el rumbo que lleva
Is that with the path she's on
Puede seguir engañando
She can continue to deceive
Y solita se condena
And condemn herself to loneliness
Porque el que engaña y traiciona
Because he who deceives and betrays
No sabe lo que le espera
Doesn't know what awaits him
Por lo que ella hizo conmigo
From what she did to me
Se que tiene el alma negra
I know she has a black soul
Ella no pudo pensar
She couldn't think
Con conciencia e' mujer buena
With the conscience of a good woman
Me la imagino diciendo
I imagine her saying
Si lo boto se envenena
If I throw him out, he'll be heartbroken
