Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Adiós Mi Chaparrita by Remmy Valenzuela from Spanish to English.
Ando en busca de una chaparrita
I'm in search of a short girl
Que hace mas de un mes que no la miro
Whom I haven't seen in over a month
Ojalá y me la encuentre lavando por allá en las orillas del río
I hope to find her washing over there by the riverbank
Y si acaso no está por el rio
And if she's not by the river
Me tendré que acercar a su casa
I'll have to go closer to her house
Esta vida para mi es un abismo
This life for me is an abyss
Ya no puedo vivir sin mirarla
I can't live without looking at her anymore
Chaparrita te traigo en mi mente
Shorty, I carry you in my mind
No me olvido de ti ni un momento
I never forget about you, not even for a moment
Corresponde al amor que te tengo
Please, reciprocate the love I have for you
Por piedad vida mía te lo ruego
My dear life, I beg you
Y si acaso me toca encontrarla
And if I happen to find her
Trataré de buscar sus amores
I'll try to find her affections
Aunque tenga que andar de rodillas
Even if I have to crawl on my knees
O llorar como lo hacen los hombres
Or cry like men do
Es muy triste vivir separado
It's very sad to live apart
De un amor que se quiere de veras
From a love that is truly wanted
Yo no sé qué seria de mi vida
I don't know what would become of my life
Si en verdad tú me correspondieras
If you truly reciprocated me
Chaparrita te traigo en mi mente
Shorty, I carry you in my mind
No me olvido de ti ni un momento
I never forget about you, not even for a moment
Corresponde al amor que te tengo
Please, reciprocate the love I have for you
Por piedad vida mía te lo ruego
My dear life, I beg you
