Adiós Mi Chaparrita

Goodbye my little darlingAdiós mi Chaparrita
Don't cry for your Panchono llores por tu Pancho
If he leaves the ranchque si se va del Rancho
He will return very soonmuy pronto volverá

You'll see that from the BajioVerás que del Bajio
I bring you good thingste traigo cosas buenas
A kiss that will make you forget your sorrowsun beso que tus penas
Very soonmuy pronto olvidarás

Ribbons for your braidsLos moñitos pa´ tus trenzas
And for your mommay pa´ tu mamacita
A beaded shawl and her fishnet skirtsrebozo de bolitas y sus nahuas de pezcal
Oh my!...¡ay! ¡que caray!...

Don't cry my dearNo llores chula mía
Because I'm leaving sadlyporque me voy "tristeando"
And I want to go singingy quiero irme cantando
Tears make me feel badque el llanto me hace mal

We were always happyAlegres siempre fuimos
And when I return I wanty cuando vuelva quiero
To see you, my ranch girlrecibas tu ranchero
Smiling like the sunsonriendo como el sol

And say that as he leftY digas que al marcharse
No matter how far he wentpor lejos que se fuera
He carried his ranch girlllevaba a su ranchera
Attached to his heartprendida al corázon
Oh my!...¡ay! ¡que caray...!
