Текст и перевод песни Soledad - El cautivo del Til Til

El cautivo del Til Til

Por unas pupilas claras entre muchos sables quiere relucir
Y esa risa que tenía no sé que secretos guardan para mí

Cuando altivo se marchó
Entre sables de alguacil
Me corrió un presentimiento al verlo partir

Dicen que es Manuel su nombre y que se lo llevan camino a til til
Que el Gobernador no quiere ver por la cañada su porte gentil

Dicen que en la guerra fue
El mejor y en la ciudad
Lo llaman el guerrillero de la libertad.

Sólo sé que ausente está
Que lo llevan los soldados
Que amarrado a la montura la tropa lo aleja de su general

Sólo se que el viento va
Jugueteando en sus cabellos
Y que el sol brilla en sus ojos cuando lo conducen camino a til til.

Dicen que era como un rayo cuando galopaba sobre su corcel
Y que al paso del jinete todos le llamaban por nombre Manuel

Ya no sé si volveré
A verlo libre y gentil
Solo sé que sonreía camino a til til

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ...

The Prisoner of Til Til

For some bright pupils among many sabers he wants to shine
And that laughter he had, I don't know what secrets they hold for me

When he left with pride
Among the constable's sabers
I had a strong feeling when I saw him leave

They say his name is Manuel and that they're taking him to Til Til
That the Governor doesn't want to see his elegant bearing in the valley

They say that in the war he was
The best and in the city
They call him the guerrilla of freedom.

I only know that he is absent
That the soldiers are taking him away
That the troops are taking him away from his general, tied to the saddle

I only know that the wind goes
Playing with his hair
And that the sun shines in his eyes as they lead him to Til Til.

They say he was like lightning when he galloped on his steed
And that as the rider passed by, everyone called him by name Manuel

I don't know if I'll ever see him again
To see him free and gentle
I only know that he was smiling on his way to Til Til

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ...
