Lyrics
Por la lejana montaña
va cabalgando un jinete
vaga solito en el mundo
y va deseando la muerte
Lleva en su pecho una herida
va con su alma destrozada
quisiera perder la vida
y reunirse con su amada
La quería mas que a su vida
y la perdiópara siempre
por eso lleva una herida
por eso busca la muerte
Con su guitarra cantando
se pasa noches enteras
hombre y guitarra llorando
a la luz de las estrellas
Después se pierde en la noche
y aunque la noche es muy bella
el va pidiéndole a Dios
que se lo lleve con ella
La quería mas que a su vida
y la perdiópara siempre
por eso lleva una herida
por eso busca la muerte.
Lyrics translation
By the distant mountain
he's riding a horseman.
wanders alone in the world
and he's wishing for death
He's got a wound on his chest.
he goes with his soul shattered
I'd like to lose my life
and meet his beloved
He loved her more than his life
and he lost her forever
that's why he's got a wound.
that's why he seeks death
With his guitar singing
you spend whole nights
man and guitar crying
in the light of the stars
Then it gets lost in the night
and although the night is very beautiful
he goes asking God
take him with her.
He loved her more than his life
and he lost her forever
that's why he's got a wound.
that's why he seeks death.
