El Jinete

The Rider

El Jinete

Through the distant mountainPor la lejana montaña
A horseman is ridingVa cabalgando un jinete
He wanders alone in the worldVaga solito en el mundo
And he goes wishing for deathY va deseando la muerte
He has a wound on his chestLleva en su pecho una herida
He goes with his soul brokenVa con su alma destrozada
I would like to lose my lifeQuisiera perder la vida
And reunite with his belovedY reunirse con su amada
He loved her more than his lifeLa quería más que a su vida
And he lost her foreverY la perdió para siempre
That's why he has a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's why he seeks deathPor eso busca la muerte

Then he disappears into the nightLuego se pierde en la noche
And although the night is very beautifulY aunque la noche es muy bella
He goes asking GodEl va pidiéndole a Dios
Take him with herQue se lo lleve con ella
He loved her more than his lifeLa quería más que a su vida
And he lost her foreverY la perdió para siempre
That's why he has a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's why he seeks deathPor eso busca la muerte
Seek deathBusca la muerte

On his guitar singingEn su guitarra cantando
He spends whole nightsSe pasa noches enteras
Man and guitar cryingHombre y guitarra llorando
In the light of the starsA la luz de las estrellas

Then he disappears into the nightDespués se pierde en la noche
And although the night is very beautifulY aunque la noche es muy bella
He goes asking GodEl va pidiéndole a Dios
Take him with herQue se lo lleve con ella
He loved her more than his lifeLa quería más que a su vida
And he lost her foreverY la perdió para siempre
That's why he has a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's whyPor eso
