Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Árboles De La Barranca by Fuerza Regida from Spanish to English.
Árboles de la barranca
Trees of the ravine
¿Por qué no han enverdecido?
Why haven't they turned green?
Es que no los han regado
It's because they haven't been watered
Con agua del río florido
With water from the blooming river
Me puse a amar a una mujer
I started to love a woman
Con la ilusión de amar
With the illusion of love
De esas tres que van pasando
Of those three that are passing by
¿Cuál te gusta, valedor?
Which one do you like, buddy?
Esa de vestido blanco
The one in the white dress
Me parece la mejor
She seems to be the best
Me puse a amar a una mujer
I started to love a woman
Con la ilusión de amar
With the illusion of love
Si porque me ves tomando
If because you see me drinking
Paseándome la pradera
Walking through the meadow
Lo que sí yo te aseguro
What I can assure you
Que te quiero de a de veras
Is that I truly love you
Me puse a amar a una mujer
I started to love a woman
Con la ilusión de amar
With the illusion of love
Ya me voy a la barranca
Now I'm going to the ravine
A sembrar surcos de arroz
To sow rows of rice
Yo te enseñaré, chamaca
I'll teach you, girl
Cómo se mancuernan dos
How two people become a pair
Me puse a amar a una mujer
I started to love a woman
Con la ilusión de amar
With the illusion of love
