I found a very pretty Indian girlA una indita muy linda encontre

Navigating on the trains of the southNavegando en los trenes del sur
I found a very pretty Indian girlA una indita muy linda encontre
Who sold bouquets of flowersQue vendia ramilletes de flores
Traveling along the train tracksRecorriendo las vias del tren

Enchanted by that brunetteEncantado de aquella morena
I bought a little bouquet for myselfLe compre un ramito para mi
And when I put the coin in her handsY al poner la moneda en sus manos
To the Indian girl I formally said thisA la indita formal dije asi

Oh Indian girl who sells your flowersAhy indita que vendes tus flores
Don't sell them to anyone, for God's sakeNo le vendas a nadie por dios
And in the warmth of a little ovenY al calor de un hornito de troya
You are the most beautiful flower of allTu de todas la mas linda flor

But time and the hours of returnPero el tiempo y las horas de vuelta
Made me leave those pathsEsos rumbos mi hicieron partir
I looked for the Indian girl at the stationYo busque en la estacion a la indita
But instead, I lost my timePero en cambio mi tiempo perdi

Until an old ladyHasta que una señora ya anciana
Wanted to know my sorrowsMis tristezas deseaba saber
She handed me the withered bouquetMe entregue el ramillete marchito
And said, here it is at your disposalY me dijo aqui esta a su merced

The one you came to look for is already deadLa que viene a buscar ya esta muerta
And upon leaving, she left this bouquetY al partir este ramo dejo
She hands it to the passengerSe lo entrega al señor pasajero
Who in my life was my only loveQue en mi vida fue mi unico amor
