Alla En La Sierra

There in the Sierra

Alla En La Sierra

(Zamba)(Zamba)

When I went thereCuando por ahí me fui
To herd the goatslas cabras a pastorear
In the mountain airal aire de las abras
I heard your good name being prayed.tu nombre bueno le oí rezar.

And I felt like returningY me dio por volver
My horse almost burstingmi caballo a reventar
Jealous of that air,celoso de aquel aire,
That your memory brushed as it passed by.que tu recuerdo rozó al pasar.

I found you in the most beautiful solitudeTe hallé en la soledad
Working diligentlymás linda al trabajar
Sewing the little clothescosiendo los trapitos
For the babypara la guagua
That you will give me.que me has de dar.

If I lost myself in the airSi a1 aire yo perdí
When I was young and a singercuando jui mozo y cantor
In the air of my landal aire de mi tierra
There in the sierra your love gave me.allá en la sierra me dio tu amor. .

It gave me with your love,Me dio con tu querer,
The strength to work,la juerza pa' trabajar,
And this courage of a many este coraje de hombre
That learned to pray with your name.que con tu nombre aprendió a rezar.

I see you next to meTe miro junto a mí
More beautiful while workingmás linda al guachipiar
The baby's clotheslos trapo del guagüita
That God, who is good, wanted to give us.que Dios, es güeno y nos quiso dar.
