Текст и перевод песни Atahualpa Yupanqui - Recuerdos del Portezuelo

Recuerdos del Portezuelo

En esas mañanitas de la quebrada
Yo bajaba las cuestas como si nada
Y en un marchao 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 quedo con ellos
Nunca le dije nada pero que 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

On those little mornings in the ravine
I'd descend the slopes as if it were nothing
And in an even gait, never tiring
My dun mule would ask me for the reins

As I passed by the ranch at the mountain pass
Your dark eyes would come out to watch me
I never said anything to you, but how beautiful they were
And happily, I'd give my song to the wind

I seem like a lot, but I am little
Let's wait and wait
For when I escape poverty
My dear, we'll talk

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

What do your eyes see in these times?
My country heart stayed with them
I never said anything to you, but how beautiful they were
I only have the song for my consolation

I seem like a lot, but I am little
Let's wait and wait
For when I escape poverty
My dear, we'll talk

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