Agüita de Rio

River Water

Agüita de Rio

From the valleys I bringTraigo de los valles
A sad songUn triste cantar
What I learned from the riverLo que aprendí del río
That passes by singingQue cantando pasa
Through the rocky terrainPor el pedregal

From the river that flowsDel río que pasa
I learned its songSu canto aprendí
I carry it with meLo vengo trayendo
Lamenting on the skinQuejoso en el parche
Of my drumDe mi tamboril

River water, rocky pathAgüita de río, camino de piedra
From every ravine, it takes away a sorrowDe cada quebrada, se lleva una pena
River water, I'm just the sameAgüita de río, lo mesmito soy
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)

You don't want to love meNo quieres quererme
My little doveMi palomitay
Maybe because they saySerá porque dicen
That absent loveQue el amor ausente
Doesn't lastNo sabe durar

You don't want to love meNo quieres quererme
What will become of me!¡Qué será de mí!
All my sorrowTodita mi pena
Resonates on the skinRetumba en el parche
Of my drumDe mi tamboril

River water, rocky pathAgüita de río, camino de piedra
From every ravine, it takes away a sorrowDe cada quebrada, se lleva una pena
River water, I'm just the sameAgüita de río, lo mesmito soy
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)
