La Polaca

The Polish Girl

La Polaca

When I go out on my mountain horseCuando salgo en mi caballo montañero
To visit the girls in my townA visitar las muchachas de mi pueblo
On the way, I think of the Polish girlPor el camino pienso en la polaca
The one who has always lived in my memories!La que ha vivido siempre en mis recuerdos!

Polish girl of my life¡Polaca de mi vida
Pretty little Cerete girl!Linda cereteñita!
I send you a little letterTe mando una cartica
With Oswaldo EsquiviaCon oswaldo esquivia

Polish girl of my soulPolaca de mi alma
Pretty little Cerete girlLinda cereteñita
How beautiful you areComo eres tan bonita
You make me lose my calmMer haces perder la calma

Everything beautiful that her body holdsTodo lo bello que su cuerpo encierra
No poet perhaps has sung itNingún poeta quizás lo haya cantado
You are Policarpa, a spring flowerEres policarpa flor de primavera
Man, for your love, I live enthusiastically¡Hombre por tu amor, yo vivo entuasiamado

Your name is PolicarpaTu nombre es policarpa
The guerrilla woman¡La mujer guerrillera
Who died for the countryQue murió por la patria
Wrapped in the flag!Envuelta en la bandera!
