Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Jinete by Angela Aguilar from Spanish to English.
Por la lejana montaña
Across the far-off mountain
Va cabalgando un jinete
A horseman rides along
Vaga solito en el mundo
He wanders all alone in the world
Y va deseando la muerte
And he's wishing for death
Lleva en su pecho una herida
He carries a wound in his chest
Va con su alma destrozada
He goes with his soul shattered
Quisiera perder la vida
He'd like to lose his life
Y reunirse con su amada
And reunite with his beloved
La quería más que a su vida
He loved her more than his life
Y la perdió para siempre
And he lost her forever
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he carries a wound
Por eso busca la muerte
That's why he seeks death
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he carries a wound
Busca la muerte
He seeks death
Con su guitarra cantando
Singing with his guitar
Se pasa noches enteras
He spends whole nights
Hombre y guitarra llorando
Man and guitar crying
A la luz de las estrellas
Under the light of the stars
Después se pierde en la noche
Then he disappears into the night
Y aunque la noche es muy bella
And even though the night is very beautiful
Él va pidiéndole a Dios
He's begging God
Que se lo lleve con ella
That He take him with her
La quería mas que a su vida
He loved her more than his life
Y la perdió para siempre
And he lost her forever
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he carries a wound
Por eso busca la muerte
That's why he seeks death
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he carries a wound
Busca la muerte
He seeks death
