La Dama de La Ciudad

The Lady of the City

La Dama de La Ciudad

He was from the farthest place from the horizonEl era de lo más lejos que el horizonte
Where Mother Nature never hidesDe donde madre natura nunca se esconde
Where the sunset is as clear as the sunriseDonde se ve el ocaso tan claro como el amanecer
He was just a peasant, just a pathEl era solo un campesino solo un camino
Ay ay ayAy ay ay

He was one of those with a lot of patienceEl era de los que tienen mucha paciencia
He was already leaving his adolescence behindEstaba saliendo ya de su adolescencia
And he watched the ladies coming from the cityY miraba a las damas que se venían de la ciudad
In elegant nightgowns going to spend their vacation in the plainsEn elegantes camisones que de vacaciones al llano iban a pasar

She was refined and simpleElla era fina y sencilla
Yesterday he saw her in the chapelAyer la vio en la capilla
So different from all the people in the cityQue diferente a toda la gente de la ciudad
Her hair shone in the quiet nightSu pelo brillaba en la noche callada
Her bright eyes, dancing stars todaySus ojos brillantes, estrellas danzantes de hoy
The lady of the city, the dream will take you awayLa dama de la ciudad, el sueño te va a quitar

And so the days went byY así pasaron los días
She paid him no attentionElla ni caso le hacia
But suddenly, with all her people, she leftMas de repente con toda su gente se fue

The lady of the cityLa dama de la ciudad
Surely won't returnSeguro no vuelve mas

And he was one of those who always, at dawnY él era de los que siempre de madrugada
Was more than ready for milkingEstaba mas que muy listo pa´ la ordeñada
Rumors say that he's no longer seen around the plainsCuentan las malas lenguas que por el llano no se le ve
Since the day she left, by midday, he was no longer heard ofDesde el día en que se fue en el medio día ya no se le oía nombrar

He doesn't want to see her anymoreYa no le quiere ver mas
He doesn't want to see her anymoreNo quiere ya verla mas
