La Otumpeña
Si para que me quieras
Tengo que penar
Penando siempre vivo
No me hagas llorar
El llanto trae más llanto
Mi flor de chaguar
Penca se ha vuelto mi alma
Espinas nomás
Espinas que se han hecho
Carne en mi dolor
Dolor que va creciendo
Lejos de tu amor
Amor que nos juramos
Ni te acordarás
Campesina de Otumpa
Florcita es chaguar
Yo te encontré solita
Por Suncho Corral
Aromando la noche
Y al polvaderal
Por donosa la Luna
Te vino a buscar
Con el violín del viento
Saliste a bailar
Merodeaban los grillos
Del viejo sauzal
Y el gallo de las breñas
Colgó su cantar
Amor que nos juramos
Ni te acordarás
Campesina de Otumpa
Florcita es chaguar
The Otumpeña
If I have to suffer for you to love me
Suffering I always live, don't make me cry.
What brings more tears to my chaguar flower
My soul has become just thorns.
Thorns that have turned into flesh in my pain
Pain that keeps growing far from your love.
Love that we swore, you won't even remember
Peasant girl from Otumpa, little chaguar flower.
I found you alone by Suncho Corral
Scenting the night and the dusty ground.
The moon, capricious, came to find you
With the violin of the wind, you went out to dance.
The crickets were prowling around the old willow grove
The rooster with tangled feathers hung up his song.
Love that we swore...
