Little Riobamba Girl

Riobambeñita

Ay! Little Riobamba girl tell me, what did I do wrongAy! Riobambeñita digame, que es que hice mal
Everyone loves as they can, and can't change!Cada uno ama, como puede, y no, puede cambiar!
If I fell in love for real while drunk!Si borrachito me enamoro de verdad!
Stay!Quedese!

It was all an almost loveTodo fue un casi amor
And now only sorrows remain!Y ahora solo quedan penas!
Blame it on weed and alcoholCulpa de hierba y alcohol
I cry for the beautiful Riobamba girlLloro la linda riobambeña
I paid all my attentionPuse toda mi atención
But I lacked patiencePero me faltó pasiencia
It sounds like chains and painSuena cadena y dolor
All because of a bad love!Todo por un mal amor!

Ay! Little Riobamba girl tell me, what did I do wrongAy! Riobambeñita digame, que es que hice mal
Everyone loves as they can, and can't change!Cada uno ama, como puede, y no, puede cambiar!
If I fell in love for real while drunk!Si borrachito me enamoro de verdad!
Stay!Quedese!

And stupidly I went looking for her again!Y bruto la volví a buscar!
I'm coming! I'm not! Get out of here!Ya voy! No estoy! Ya largate!
I walk home and plant flowersCamino a casa y siembro flores
Black from head to toe!Negras de pie!
Now she walks slowlyAhora camina despacio
On the arm of someone elseDel brazo de alguien mas
Smiling for what we sworeSonrie por lo que juramos
Would never happen again!Nunca volveria a ser!

Ay! Little Riobamba girl tell me, what did I do wrongAy! Riobambeñita digame, que es que hice mal
Everyone loves as they can, and can't change!Cada uno ama, como puede, y no, puede cambiar!
