El Cerro del Huinora

The Hill of Huinora

El Cerro del Huinora

In a corner of the mountains, right by the HuinoraEn un rincon de la sierra, muy cerquita del huinora
Everything's been fading away, people cry in sorrowSe ha ido acabando todo, la gente de pena llora

Some houses stand empty, their collectors have leftUnas casas entan solas, sus cobradores se han ido
Some to big cities, others to the lost valleyUnos a grandes ciudades, otros al valle perdido

How many fortunes left, from those rugged hillsCuantas fortuna salieron, de esa faldas cibreñales
Now enjoyed by new rich folks, in the big citiesQue hoy disfrutan nuevos ricos, en la grandes capitales

That Sunday hill, of blue and AvilesEsa cerra de domingo, del azul y de aviles
Of those three settlers, just before '33De aquellos tres asendados, poco antes de 33

Music, parks, and beer, were plenty in that placeMusica parque y cerveza, abundaba en el lugar
Profits from merchants and a soldier or twoGanancias de comerciantes y uno que otro militar

The alders were shattered, splintered by gunfireLos alisos se cecaron astillados a balazos
How many lives were cut short, oh lord, so many failuresCuantan vidas se cegaron, ahi señor cuantos fracasos

That ranch of San Felix, of Chompa and FrijolaisEse rancho de san felix, del chompa y el frijolais
Orphans, mothers, and widows, who can't forgetHuerfanos madres y viudas, que no podran olvidar

Goodbye hill of Huinora, ravaged by timeAdios cerro del huinora, arrasado por los tiempos
You witnessed it all, and will return to old townsFuiste testigo de todo y a volver a pueblos viejos
