El Jinete

The Rider

El Jinete

Through the distant mountainPor la lejana montaña
A horseman is ridingVa cabalgando un jinete
He wanders alone in the worldVaga solito en el mundo
And he goes wishing for deathY va deseando la muerte

He has a wound on his chestLleva en su pecho una herida
He goes with his soul brokenVa con su alma destrozada
I would like to lose my lifeQuisiera perder la vida
And reunite with his belovedY reunirse con su amada

He loved her more than his lifeLa quería más que a su vida
And he lost her foreverY la perdió para siempre
That's why he has a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's why he seeks deathPor eso busca la muerte

With his guitar singingCon su guitarra cantando
He spends whole nightsSe pasa noches enteras
Man and guitar cryingHombre y guitarra llorando
In the light of the starsA la luz de las estrellas

Then he disappears into the nightDespués se pierde en la noche
And although the night is very beautifulY aunque la noche es muy bella
He goes asking GodÉl va pídiéndole a Dios
Take him with herQue se lo lleve con ella

He loved her more than his lifeLa quería más que a su vida
And he lost her foreverY la perdió para siempre
That's why he has a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's why he seeks deathPor eso busca la muerte
That's why he has a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's why he seeks deathPor eso busca la muerte
