De Ahicito

From Here

De Ahicito

From here lives my black girlAhicito vive mi negra
from here lives my loveahicito vive mi amor
from here I come with sorrowsde ahicito vengo con penas
when she says goodbyecuando ella me dice adiós
come singing from herecantando vengo de ahicito
sighing the heartsuspirando el corazón

She doesn't seem ungratefulQue no parece la ingrata
enjoys seeing me sufferque de verme sufrir goza
torments me with her jealousyme atormenta con sus celos
as if it were nothingcomo si fuera tal cosa
if I suffer like this, my lovesi así sufro vida mía
I don't give you much to liveno te doy vivir gran cosa

Seeing me arrivingAl verme que estoy llegando
she comes running to meet meviene corriendo a encontrarme
and with a smile on her lipsy con sonrisa en los labios
she begins to scold meya comienza a reprocharme
I love you like this, my black manyo te quiero así mi negro
and you'll have to endure mey tendrás que soportarme

When I cross the sweet riverCuando cruzo el río dulce
I can already see herya la alcanzo a divisar
in her mud huten su ranchito de barro
shaded by chañar treessombreadito de chañar
doing añapa, my dearhaciendo añapa vidita
and to be able to invite mey pa' poderme convidar

Pure and sincere loveCariño puro y sincero
beautiful girls from the landlindas chinitas del pago
dancing the chacarerabailando la chacarera
Santiago's chacarerachacarera de santiago
see how she shows offla vieran como presume
when she dances with her mancuando mudancea su chango

Despite her being badA pesar de que ella es mala
I can't forget heryo no la puedo olvidar
what have I done to my black girlque le habré echo yo a mi negra
for her to treat me badlypara que me pague mal
play guitar, my dearsuena guitarra querida
try to console metrátame de consolar

How not to go to my ranchComo no ir a mi rancho
in the red hillsen las lomas coloradas
from here is the deep ravineahicito esta huayco hondo
from here is the tala payaahicito esta tala paya
the sweet river is right hereel río dulce esta ahicito
from here you'll see the pardaahicito has de ver la parda
