Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Balanza De Oro by Los Alameños De La Sierra from Spanish to English.
De esta sierra a la otra sierra se divisa San José
From this mountain to the other mountain, San José can be seen
Vida mía de mis ojitos que me vine y los dejé
My life, of my little eyes, that I came and left
Cuando salí de mi casa de nadie me despedí
When I left my house, I didn't say goodbye to anyone
Solo de los inamaices y un gato que estaba ahí
Only to the inamaices and a cat that was there
Solo yo iba caminando sin saber a dónde ir
I was walking alone without knowing where to go
Otra tierra iba buscando sin saber que iba a sufrir
I was looking for another land without knowing I was going to suffer
No lloro porque ando lejos, de mi novia que deje
I don't cry because I'm far away from my girlfriend that I left
Me acuerdo de los consejos de mis padres que olvide
I remember the advice from my parents that I forgot
Su bendición me dejaron que en mi mente guardo yo
They left me their blessing that I keep in my mind
Al quedar solos murieron y mi novia se caso
When they were left alone, they died and my girlfriend got married
De esta sierra a la otra sierra se divisa San José
From this mountain to the other mountain, San José can be seen
Vida mía de mis ojitos que me vine y los dejé
My life, of my little eyes, that I came and left
Cuando salí de mi casa de nadie me despedí
When I left my house, I didn't say goodbye to anyone
Solo de los inamaices y un gato que estaba ahí
Only to the inamaices and a cat that was there
Solo yo iba caminando sin saber a dónde ir
I was walking alone without knowing where to go
Otra tierra iba buscando sin saber que iba a sufrir
I was looking for another land without knowing I was going to suffer
