Tierrita poca

Little Patch of Land

Tierrita poca

(Waltz)(Valseado)

Poor and suffering little patch of landTierrita pobre y sufrida
Together we wore each other outjuntos nos fuimos gastando,
The same furrow burned us bothel mismo surco a los dos nos fue quemando.

Poverty brings weedsLa pobreza trae yuyos,
I got weeded outme fui enyuyando,
Thistles and thorns you kept giving meabrojales y espinas me fuiste dando.

You slipped away little by littleTe escurriste de a poco
Down the slopepor la bajada,
Lying down in the coolness of the ravinerecostándote al fresco de la cañada.

Through that same hillPor esa misma cuesta
My life went onmarchó mi vida,
And my lost years are your woundsy mis años perdidos son tus heridas.

Poor and meager little patch of landTierrita pobre y poca
I kept killing youte fui matando,
By planting and pulling you out so mucha fuerza de sembrarte y sacarte tanto.

You're like my bossSos como mi patrona,
The companionla compañera,
Who paid with her life for what she gave usque pagó con su vida lo que nos diera.

Poor and beautiful little patch of landTierrita pobre y linda
To the eastpor orientala,
Humble, wild, and sweet, like your talashumilde, arisca y dulce, como tus talas.
