Campo afuera

Out in the Field

Campo afuera

I know you've forgotten me.Ya sé que me has olvidado.
I know you went far away.Ya sé que te fuiste lejos.
I know with my adviceYa sé que con mis consejos
I won't be able to set you straight.no te voy a enderezar.
I know there's no other fateYa sé que no hay más destino
than opening all the gatesque abrir todas las tranqueras
and riding out in the fieldy galopar campo afuera
to be able to forget.para poder olvidar.

You see,Ya ves,
your deceitful eyesme han dejado triste
have left me sad.tus ojos engañadores.
You see,Ya ves,
I harvested painscoseché dolores
while plowing your loneliness.al arar tu soledad.
I don't knowNo sé
if seeing me so farsi al verme tan lejos
will make you regret.tendrás arrepentimientos.
I don't know...No sé...
but I have a feelingpero lo presiento
that in the end you'll cry for me.que al fin me vas a llorar.

When I felt your forgetfulness,Cuando palpité tu olvido,
when I saw you were gone,cuando vi que estabas ida
I wanted to tie you to my lifequise amarrarte a mi vida
with a hint of illusion.con un tiento de ilusión.
And upon realizing you were someone else,Y al comprender que eras otra,
that you weren't my partner,que no eras mi compañera,
I sought to head out in the fieldbusqué rumbear campo afuera
to deceive love.para engañar el amor.

I don't want to boast about being strongNo quiero alardear de fuerte
by saying I've forgotten you!¡diciendo que te he olvidado!
I know you'll be by my sideSé que estarás a mi lado
disturbing like a grudge.caliente como un rencor.
But if there's a punishmentPero si existe el castigo
of remembering the past,de recordar lo pasado,
that necessary punishmentese castigo obligado
we'll both endure.lo sufriremos los dos.
