Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Secó el Arroyito by Compay Segundo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se secó el arroyito
the stream dried up
Que pasaba por mi casa
what was going on in my house
Lo mismo me sucedió
same thing happened to me
Con el amor de mi guapa guajira
With the love of my beautiful guajira
La noche que ella se fue
the night she left
Su perfume me embriagaba
Her perfume intoxicated me
Solo su rastro dejaba
Only the trace of her left
En la noche serena
in the serene night
Why por él me guié
and I was guided by him
Por el camino encontré
along the way i found
Una prenda que ella usaba
A garment that she wore
En mi recuerdo llevaba
In my memory she wore
Prueba del querer
test of want
Que le confesaba
that she confessed to him
Ella se peleó conmigo
she fought with me
Porque la estaba celando
because she was jealous of her
Why yo estaba comprendiendo
and I was understanding
Muy bien que su amor
Very good that your love
Me iba faltando
she was missing me
La busqué por todas partes
I looked for her everywhere
Creyendo fuera a evitar
Believing out to avoid
Que mi linda florecita
That my pretty little flower
En otro jardín
in another garden
Fuera a marchitar
out to wither
Recorrí montes, veredas
I traveled mountains, paths
Why por fin no la encontré
And finally I did not find it
Ahora seguiré cantando
Now I'll keep singing
Mi linda tonada
my pretty tune
Que siempre canté
that I always sang
