Camino Del Arenal

Path of the Sandbank

Camino Del Arenal

Oh old payment how much I miss you!¡Oh pago viejo cuánto te añoro!
Long path, path of the sandbank.Sendero largo, camino del arenal.
Wide estuary that in calm waterEstero ancho que en agua mansa
gets lost in the distance, bordering the orange grove.se pierde a lo lejos, bordeando el naranjal.

How many times you waited for me¡Cuántas veces me esperabas
sitting, very pensive,sentada, muy pensativa,
at the gate of your ranchen la tranquera de tu rancho
or in the shade of the willow grove!o a la sombra del saucedal!

From afar you heardDesde lejos escuchabas
the clinking of my horse,la coscosca de mi montao,
with the saddle well polishedcon apero bien chapeao
or scarce upon arrival.o escaseando al llegar.

Years have passed and I don't forget you:Pasaron años y no te olvido:
you live in my mind the same; just like yesterday.vives en mi mente lo mismo; igual que ayer.
And even the dawns bring me memoriesY hasta las auroras me traen recuerdos
of that afternoon, when I swore to return to you.de aquella tarde, que yo te juré volver.

How many times you waited for me¡Cuántas veces me esperabas
sitting, very pensive,sentada, muy pensativa,
at the gate of your ranch,en la tranquera de tu rancho,
or in the shade of the willow grove!o a la sombra del saucedal!

From afar you heardDesde lejos escuchabas
the clinking of my horse,la coscoja de mi montao,
with the saddle well polished,con apero bien chapeao,
or scarce upon arrival.o escaseando al llegar.
