Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A los barrios de Santiago by Compay Segundo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tú me quisiste, Macusa
You loved me, Macusa
Y yo también te adore
And I adore you too
Con tanta ilusión te quise
I loved you with such enthusiasm
Que nunca de ti dude
never doubt you
Por un poquito de tiempo
for a little while
Que de ti me separe
that separates me from you
Me traicionaste, Macusa
You betrayed me, Macusa
Que triste yo me quede
How sad I stayed
Me devolviste el retrato
you gave me back the portrait
Que en prueba de amor de ti
that in proof of love from you
Y me pediste tus cartas
And you asked me for your letters
En ellas decías así
In them you said like this
Te quiero mi Puchunguito
I love you my Puchunguito
Tú nunca me hagas sufrir
you never make me suffer
Yo nunca use la corbata
I never wear the tie
Ni tampoco use el pañuelo
Nor use the handkerchief
Creyendo que así guardado
Believing that thus saved
Conservaría el recuerdo
I would keep the memory
Las Trazas se dieron cuenta
The Traces realized
Que todo iba a ser traición
That everything was going to be treason
Se metieron en el cofre
They got into the chest
Donde guarde mi pasión
where i keep my passion
Destruyendo los recuerdos
destroying the memories
Del engaño de un amor
Of the deceit of a love
Como yo te quise a ti
how i loved you
Macusa, nadie te querrá
Macusa, nobody will love you
Nadie, pero nadie
nobody, but nobody
Nadie te querrá
no one will want you
