Recuerdos del Portezuelo (Remastered)

En esas mañanitas de la quebrada
Yo bajaba las cuestas como si nada
Y en un marcha'o parejo de no cansarse
Me iba pidiendo riendas mi mula parda

Al pasar por el rancho del portezuelo
Salían a mirarme sus ojos negros
Nunca le dije nada, pero qué lindos
Y de feliz le daba mi copla al viento

Parezco mucho y soy poco
Esperemos y esperemos
Pa' cuando salga de pobre
Viditay conversaremos

Los vientos y los años me arriaron lejos
Lo que ayer fue esperanza, hoy es recuerdo
Me gusta arrinconarme de vez en cuando
A pensar en la moza del portezuelo

¿Qué mirarán sus ojos en estos tiempos?
Mi corazón paisano quedó con ellos
Nunca le dije nada, pero qué lindos
Solo tengo la copla pa' mi consuelo

Parezco mucho y soy poco
Esperemos y esperemos
Pa' cuando salga de pobre
Viditay conversaremos

¿Dónde estará la moza del portezuelo?
¿Están tristes o alegres sus ojos negros?
Nunca le dije nada, pero qué lindos
Siento un dulzor amargo
Cuando me acuerdo

Memories of the Mountain Pass (Remastered)

On those little mornings in the ravine
I would descend the slopes as if it were nothing
And in an even pace, never tiring
My brown mule would be asking for the reins

When passing by the ranch at the mountain pass
Your dark eyes would come out to watch me
I never said a word to you, but how beautiful they were
And happily, I would give my song to the wind

I seem like much but I am little
Let's wait and wait
Until I escape poverty
My dear, and then we'll talk

The winds and the years have driven me far away
What was hope yesterday, is memory today
I like to retreat from time to time
To think about the girl from the mountain pass

What will your eyes be looking at these days?
My country heart remained with them
I never said a word to you, but how beautiful they were
I only have the song for my consolation

I seem like much but I am little
Let's wait and wait
Until I escape poverty
My dear, and then we'll talk

Where is the girl from the mountain pass?
Are your dark eyes sad or happy?
I never said a word to you, but how beautiful they were
I feel a bittersweetness
When I remember
