Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Jinete by María León from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Por la lejana montaña
Through the distant mountain
Va cabalgando un jinete
A horseman is riding
Vaga solito en el mundo
wander alone in the world
Y va deseando la muerte
And he wishes for death
Lleva en su pecho una herida
He has a wound in his chest
Va con su alma destrozada
He goes with his soul destroyed
Quisiera perder la vida
I would like to lose my life
Y reunirse con su amada
And reunite with his beloved
La quería más que a su vida
He loved her more than his life
Y la perdió para siempre
And he lost her forever
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he has a wound
Busca la muerte
Search for death
Con su guitarra cantando
With his guitar singing
Se pasa noches enteras
He spends 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's lost in the night
Y aunque la noche es muy bella
And although the night is very beautiful
Él va pidiéndole a dios
He is asking God
Que se lo lleve con ella
Let her take it with her
La quería más que a su vida
He loved her more than his life
Y la perdió para siempre
And he lost her forever
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he has a wound
Por eso busca la muerte
That's why he seeks death
Por eso lleva una herida
That's why he has a wound
Busca la muerte
Search for death
Busca la muerte
Search for death
