El jinete [English translation]

In the far mountain

Goes riding a horseman

He wanders alone in the world

And he goes wishing for death.

He carries in his bosom a wound

He goes with his soul ravaged

He wishes to lose his life

And reunite with his beloved.

He loved her more than his life

And he lost her forever

Because of that he carries a wound

Because of that he searches for death.

Because of that he carries a wound

Because of that he searches for death.

With his guitar singing

He passes entire nights

Man and guitar weeping

In the light of the stars.

Since he loses himself in the night

And although the night is very beautiful

He goes to God asking Him

To take him with her.

He loved her more than his life

And he lost her forever

Because of that he carries a wound

Because of that he searches for death.

Because of that he carries a wound

Because of that he searches for death
