Paroles et traduction Walter Silva - La de los Mangos

La de los Mangos

Amor del alma
Cariñito de la infancia
Sombrita del palo e mango
Dónde yo te conocí...
Con una pepa
Te tumbaba el otro mango
Y así entre mango y mango
Muchos besitos te di.
Pero un día por el destino
Cogí camino y de tu lado
Me fui
Y resulta encantador
Y por eso hoy con amor
Esta canción te escribí
Amor del alma boquita
Del primer beso
Ojitos del primer gusto
Nunca te olvides de mí
Que de mi parte
Yo nunca te olvidare
Porque eso seria
Olvidarme del campo donde naci
Y eso de ser campesino
Es la riqueza más grande
Con la que algún día naci
Que el día que conocí el pueblo
Me hizo falta tanto el campo
Que hay mismo me devolví
Amor del alma juntos
Desde el mismo alambré
Mire que crecías mujer
Y viste que hombre crecí
El mismo gallo cantando
En la madrugada
Te despertaba cariño
Y me despertaba a mí
Cuando veías hacia el monte
Mirabas el mismo monte
Que toda mi infancia vi
Si veías pa' la sabana
Veías la misma sabana
Que en un burro recorrí
Amor del alma
Cariñito de la infancia
Sombrita del palo e mango
Donde yo te conocí
Cuando la brisa tumbaba
Un mango maduro
Paliaba con los marranos
Ese mango para ti
Amorcito campesino
Campesina la riqueza
Con la que algún día naci
Que el día que conocí el pueblo
Me hizo falta tanto el campo
Que hay mismo me devolví.

The One from the Mango Trees

Love of my soul,
My childhood sweetheart,
Shade of the mango tree,
Where I first met you...
With a seed,
I would knock down another mango for you,
And so, between mangos,
I gave you many kisses.
But one day, fate intervened,
And I took a path that led me away from you,
I left.
And now, it seems so charming,
And that's why today, with love,
I write you this song
Love of my soul, little mouth,
Of my first kiss,
Eyes of my first crush,
Never forget me,
For my part,
I will never forget you.
Because that would be like
Forgetting the countryside where I was born,
And that, being a countryman,
Is the greatest wealth
That I was ever born with.
The day I discovered the city,
I missed the countryside so much
That I turned right back around.
Love of my soul, together,
On the other side of the same fence,
I watched you grow into a woman,
And you saw that I grew into a man.
The same rooster crowing
At dawn,
Would wake you, my dear,
And would wake me, too.
When you looked towards the mountains,
You saw the same mountains
That I saw throughout my childhood.
If you looked out towards the plains,
You saw the same plains
That I rode across on a donkey.
Love of my soul,
My childhood sweetheart,
Shade of the mango tree,
Where I first met you,
When the breeze would knock down
A ripe mango,
I would fend off the pigs
To get that mango for you,
My little country girl,
Countryside is the wealth
That I was ever born with.
The day I discovered the city,
I missed the countryside so much
That I turned right back around.
