Mountain Girl

Muchachita Montañesa

To you, lovely dark-skinned girlA ti morenita linda
Who lives among the mountainsQue vives entre montañas
To you, with a soulA ti que tienes el alma
As sweet as sugarcaneTan dulce como la caña

You who keep in your heartTú que en el pecho conservas
A treasure of virtueUn tesoro de virtud
And on your strawberry lipsY que en tus labios de fresa
There are natural aromasHay naturales aromas

Your black hairQue tu negra cabellera
Peeks out among the flowersEntre las flores asoma
Playing with your long braidsJugando tus largas trenzas
On your dove-like chestEn tu pecho de paloma

Mountain girlMuchachita montañesa
With the purest soulLa del alma virginal
By your side, I wishA tu lado yo quisiera
To end my existenceMi existencia terminar

You who longs for a loveTú que anhelas un cariño
As pure as your innocencePuro como tu candor
You who, when you give a kissTú que cuando das un beso
You give it with your heartLo das con el corazón

You always live in your mountainsVives siempre en tus montañas
You live in your better townVive en tu pueblo mejor
Even if your cabin is poorAunque pobre tu cabaña
It's as pure as the sunEs tan pura como el sol

There are those who wear clothesHay quienes llevan la ropa
Cleaner than their heartsMás limpia que el corazón
And carry a dark soulY llevan muy negra el alma
Forgetting about GodOlvidándose de dios

Mountain girlMuchachita montañesa
With the purest soulLa del alma virginal
By your side, I wishA tu lado yo quisiera
To end my existenceMi existencia terminar
