De Estar Estando

Of Being

De Estar Estando

Happy heartCorazón alegre
Just by being in lifeDe solo estar andando en la vida
Cholita, you must not cryCholita no has de llorar
The time of my departureEl tiempo de mi partida

White handkerchief for dancingPañuelito blanco para bailar
With my little doveCon mi palomita
Wet, I will keep itMojado lo he de guardar
After the farewellDespués de la despedida

I will have to walk aloneTendré que andar solito
Sad, sufferingTriste, penando
I'm afraid, when I returnTengo miedo, cuando vuelva
They may have stolen youTe hayan robado

Happy heartCorazón alegre
Just by being in lifeDe solo estar andando en la vida
Cholita, you must not cryCholita no has de llorar
The time of my departureEl tiempo de mi partida

Blind feelingSentimiento ciego
Just by washing its woundDe solo estar lavando su herida
Cholita, you must not forgetCholita, no has de olvidar
This blooming sorrowEsta pena florecida

Red skirt for dancingPollerita roja para bailar
I will bring you, little Chinese girlTe traeré, chinita
When I return from the fieldCuando vuelva del churcal
To gather our livesA rejuntar nuestras vidas

I will have to walk aloneTendré que andar solito
Sad, sufferingTriste, penando
I'm afraid, when I returnTengo miedo, cuando vuelva
They may have stolen youTe hayan robado

Blind feelingSentimiento ciego
Just by washing its woundDe solo estar lavando su herida
Cholita, you must not forgetCholita, no has de olvidar
This blooming sorrowEsta pena florecida
