Prenda Querida (Un Verde Mesquite)

Dear Beloved (A Green Mesquite)

Prenda Querida (Un Verde Mesquite)

On the peaks of a green mesquiteEn las cumbres de un verde mesquite
Sadly sang a goldfinchTristemente cantaba un jilguero
And in its songs so sad they saidY decian en sus cantares tan tristes
How a treacherous love hurtsComo daña un amor traicionero

From what little I could understandPor lo poco que pude entenderle
His sorrows are just like mineSon sus penas igual que las mias
Because I, who knew how to love youPor que yo que si supe quererte
Without thinking you would forget meSin pensar en que me olvidarias

Come back, come back to my lifeVuelve, vuelve bien de mi vida
See how I suffer from your abandonmentMira que sufro por tu abandono
Come back, come back dear belovedVuelve, vuelve prenda querida
For the past, I forgive youPor lo pasado yo te perdono

Hoping you return to meEsperando que vuelvas conmigo
I will come every moonlit nightYo vendre cada noche de Luna
Even if it's to desire my punishmentAunque sea por querer mi castigo
Or simply send me to the graveO de plano me mande a la tumba

Come back, come back to my lifeVuelve, vuelve bien de mi vida
See how I suffer from your abandonmentMira que sufro por tu abandono
Come back, come back dear belovedVuelve, vuelve prenda querida
For the past, I forgive youPor lo pasado yo te perdono
