Pobrecita De La Deolina

Poor Deolina

Pobrecita De La Deolina

They say she died of thirst,Dicen que murió de sed,
searching for carob pods,iba en busca de algarrobas,
his pup followed her,su cachorro la seguía,
nursing on shadows,amamantado de sombra,
his pup followed her,su cachorro la seguía,
nursing on shadows.amamantado de sombra.

Poor Deolina,Pobrecita la Deolina,
how bitter was her fate,que amargo fue su destino,
the muleteers found her,los arrieros la encontraron,
resting on the road,dormidita en el camino,
the muleteers found her,los arrieros la encontraron,
resting on the road.dormidita en el camino.

A wooden leg keeps watch,Pie de palo la custodia,
the little fence guards her,el vallacito la guarda,
and for all the locals,y pa´ todos los paisanos,
the deceased is a saint,la difunta es una santa,
and for all the locals,Y pa´ todos los paisanos,
the deceased is a saint.la difunta es una santa.

The homeland goddess gallopsLa patria diva al galope
through spears and thorns,Entre lanzas y tacuaras,
and beyond La Rioja,y mas allá de la rioja,
the rebels were roaring,la montonera bramaba,
there's no traveler on the path,no hay caminante en la huella,
who doesn't seek some comfort,que no le pida un consuelo,
from the late Correa,a la difunta Correa,
patroness of the muleteers.patrona de los arrieros.

Poor Deolina,Pobrecita la Deolina,
how bitter was her fate,que amargo fue su destino,
the muleteers found her,los arrieros la encontraron,
resting on the road,dormidita en el camino,
the muleteers found her,los arrieros la encontraron,
resting on the road,dormidita en el camino,
resting on the road.dormidita en el camino.
