Lyrics
Se secó el arroyito
Que pasaba por mi casa
Lo mismo me sucedió
Con el amor de mi guapa guajira
La noche que ella se fue
Su perfume me embriagaba
Solo su rastro dejaba
En la noche serena
Y por él me guié
Por el camino encontré
Una prenda que ella usaba
En mi recuerdo llevaba
Prueba del querer
Que le confesaba
Ella se peleó conmigo
Porque la estaba celando
Y yo estaba comprendiendo
Muy bien que su amor
Me iba faltando
La busqué por todas partes
Creyendo fuera a evitar
Que mi linda florecita
En otro jardín
Fuera a marchitar
Recorrí montes, veredas
Y por fin no la encontré
Ahora seguiré cantando
Mi linda tonada
Que siempre canté
Lyrics translation
The creek's dried up.
That I was passing by my house
The same thing happened to me
With the love of my pretty guajira
The night she left
His perfume made me drunk
Only his trail left
On the serene night
And by him I guided myself
Along the way I found
A garment she wore
In my memory I wore
Proof of wanting
Who confessed to him
She fought me.
Because I was hiding her.
And I was understanding
Very well that your love
I was missing
I looked everywhere for her.
Believing out to avoid
That my Pretty Little Flower
In another garden
Out to wither
I walked through hills, paths
And I finally didn't find her.
Now I'll keep singing
My lovely tonada
That I always sang
