Por la manchega llanura
By the manchega plain
Se vuelve a ver la figura
The figure is seen again
De Don Quijote pasar
From Don Quixote to pass
Y ahora ociosa y abollada, va en el rucio la armadura
And now idle and dented, goes in the rucio the armor
Y va ocioso el caballero, sin peto y sin espaldar
And the gentleman goes idle, without breastplate and without back.
Va cargado de amargura
It is loaded with bitterness
Que allá encontró sepultura
Who found burial there
Su amoroso batallar
Your loving battle
Va cargado de amargura
It is loaded with bitterness
Que allá 'Quedó su ventura'
That there 'Was his fortune'
En la playa de barcino, frente al mar
On the beach of Barcino, facing the sea
Cuántas veces, Don Quijote, por esa misma llanura
How many times, Don Quixote, on that same plain
En horas de desaliento así te miró pasar
In hours of discouragement like this he watched you pass
Y cuántas veces te gritó: 'Hazme un sitio en tu montura
And how many times did he yell at you, 'Make room for me on your mount?
Y llévame a tu lugar
And take me to your place
Hazme un sitio en tu montura
Make me a place on your mount
Caballero derrotado
Defeated knight
Hazme un sitio en tu montura
Make me a place on your mount
Que yo también voy cargado
That I'm loaded too
De amargura
Of bitterness
Y no puedo batallar
And I can't fight
Ponme a la grupa contigo
Put me on the rump with you
Caballero del honor
Knight of Honor
Ponme a la grupa contigo
Put me on the rump with you
Y llévame a ser contigo
And take me to be with you
Contigo pastor'
With you pastor'
Por la manchega llanura
By the manchega plain
Se vuelve a ver la figura
The figure is seen again
De don quijote pasar
From don quixote to pass
Va cargado de amargura
It is loaded with bitterness
Va, vencido, el caballero
Go, vanquished, the knight
De retorno a su lugar
Back to your place
