Текст и перевод песни Pedrito Fernandez - Cuatro Milpas

Cuatro Milpas

Cuatro milpas tan sólo han quedado,
Del ranchito que era mío, ay!
De aquella casita tan blanca y bonita,
Lo triste que está.

Los potreros están sin ganado,
La laguna se seco
La cerca de alambre que estaba en el patio
Tambien se cayo.

Me prestaras tus ojos, morena,
Los llevo en el alma, que miren allá,
Los despojos de aquella casita,
Tan blanca y bonita lo triste que está.

Las cosechas quedaron perdidas
Toditito se acabó, ay!
Ya no hay palomas, ni flores ni aromas
Ya Todo acabó.

Las palmeras lloraban su usencia
La laguna se seco ay ahy
Los piones y arrieros
Toditos se fueron y nadie quedo
Por eso estoy triste morena
Por eso me pongo muy triste a llorar
Recordando las tardes felices
Que los dos pasamos en aquel lugar.

Four Thousand Acres

Only four thousand acres remain,
Of the ranch that was mine, oh!
Of that little house so white and pretty,
How sad it is.

The fields are without cattle,
The lagoon has dried up,
The wire fence that was in the yard
Has also fallen down.

Will you lend me your eyes, my darling,
I carry them in my soul, so they can see,
The remnants of that little house,
So white and pretty, how sad it is.

The harvests were lost,
Everything is gone, oh!
There are no longer doves, nor flowers, nor scents,
Everything is gone.

The palm trees wept in her absence,
The lagoon has dried up, oh, come on,
The ranchers and teamsters
They all left and no one stayed,
That's why I'm sad, my darling,
That's why I get very sad and cry,
Remembering the happy afternoons
That the two of us spent in that place.
