Niña Serrana

Mountain Girl

Niña Serrana

What will be on this winter afternoonQue será en esta tarde invernal
of my mountain girl from yesterdayde mi niña serrana de ayer
lying in the sky I saw herrecostada en el cielo la vi
she got lost in her gray farewell handkerchief.se perdio en su pañuelo la gris despedida.

I didn't want to look backYa no quise volver a mirar
down the street I sank at a gallopcalle abajo al galope me hundí
a whistle of an attempt to startun silbido de intento arranque
but there her handkerchief was calling me back.pero alla su pañuelo volve me decía.

ChorusEstribillo
How many times looking for the memoryCuántas veces buscando el recuerdo
of those evenings by the riverde esas tardes junto al río
I have thought of returning my mountain girl from yesterdayhe pensado en volver mi serrana de ayer
but maybe I will never return.pero nunca tal vez volveré.
I have thought of returning my mountain girl from yesterdayHe pensado en volver mi serrana de ayer
but maybe I will never return.pero nunca tal vez volveré.

Young years never againAños mozos ya nunca jamás
playing by the river the two of usjugueteando en el río los dos
a yearning of pure candorunas ansias de puro candor
my looking at you and your beloved mountain girl laughter.mi mirarte y tu risa serrana querida.

And a flower in your hair upon returnY una flor en tu pelo al volver
innocent gift of loveinocente regalo de amor
it looked so beautiful on you I don't knowte quedaba tan linda no sé
that I sang with joy my beloved mountain girl.que de gusto cantaba serrana querida.
