Goodbye to my prairie

Farewell to my pampa

Goodbye, my prairie!...Adios, pampa mia!...
I'm leaving... I'm going to foreign lands.Me voy... Me voy a tierras extrañas.
Goodbye, paths that I have traveled,Adios, caminos que he recorrido,
rivers, mountains, and valleys,rios, montes y cañadas,
shack where I was born.tapera donde he nacido.
If we don't see each other again,Si no volvemos a vernos,
dear land,tierra querida,
I want you to knowquiero que sepas
that as I leave, I leave my life behind.que al irme dejo la vida.
Goodbye!...Adios!...

When leaving you, my prairie,Al dejarte, pampa mia,
my eyes and soul fillojos y alma se me llenan
with the green of your grasscon el verde de tu pasto
and the trembling of the stars.y el temblor de las estrellas.
With the song of the windsCon el canto de los vientos
and the weeping of guitarsy el sollozar de vihuelas
that sometimes brought me joyque me alegraron a veces
and other times made me cry.y otras me hicieron llorar.

Goodbye... My prairie!...Adios... Pampa mia!...
I'm going on the path of hope.Me voy camino de la esperanza.
Goodbye, plains that I have galloped,Adios, llanuras que he galopado,
paths, hills, and ravines,sendas, lomas y quebradas,
places where I have dreamed.lugares donde he soñado.
I will return to your soilYo he de volver a tu suelo
when I sensecuando presienta
that my soul escapesque mi alma escapa
like a dove, to the sky...como paloma, hasta el cielo...
Goodbye!...Adios!...
I'm leaving, my prairie!...Me voy, pampa mia!...
Goodbye!...Adios!...
