Por la lejana montaña
By the distant mountain
Va cabalgando un jinete
A rider is riding
Vaga solito en el mundo
Laza alone in the world
Y va deseando la muerte.
And he is longing for death.
Lleva en su pecho una herida
He has a wound on his chest
Va con su alma destrozada
He goes with his shattered soul
Quisiera perder la vida
I would like to lose my life
Y reunirse con su amada.
And reunite with his beloved.
La quería mas que a su vida
He loved her more than his life
Y la perdió para siempre
And he lost it forever.
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he carries a wound.
Por eso busca la muerte.
That is why he seeks death.
Con su guitarra cantando
With his guitar singing
Se pasa noches enteras
Spend whole nights
Hombre y guitarra llorando
Man and guitar crying
A la luz de las estrellas.
In the light of the stars.
Después se pierde en la noche
Then it gets lost in the night
Y aunque la noche es muy bella
And although the night is very beautiful
El va pidiéndole a Dios
He is asking God
Que se lo lleve con ella.
Let her take it with her
La quería mas que a su vida
He loved her more than his life
Y la perdió para siempre
And he lost it forever.
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he carries a wound.
Por eso busca la muerte.
That is why he seeks death.
