The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Cuatro Milpas" by Antonio Aguilar.
Lyrics
Cuatro milpas tan sólo han quedado
Del ranchito que era mío, ay!
De aquella casita tan blanca y bonita
Lo triste que está
Los potreros están sin ganado
La laguna se seco
La cerca de alambre que estaba en el patio
Tambien se cayo
Me prestaras tus ojos, morena
Los llevo en el alma, que miren allá
Los despojos de aquella casita
Tan blanca y bonita lo triste que está
Las cosechas quedaron perdidas
Toditito se acabó, ay!
Ya no hay palomas, ni flores ni aromas
Ya Todo acabó
Las palmeras lloraban su usencia
La laguna se seco ay ahy
Los piones y arrieros
Toditos se fueron y nadie quedo
Por eso estoy triste morena
Por eso me pongo muy triste a llorar
Recordando las tardes felices
Que los dos pasamos en aquel lugar.
Lyrics translation
Only four thousand left
From the little ranch that was mine, oh!
From that little house so white and pretty
How sad he is
The herdsmen are without cattle
The lagoon is dry
The wire fence that was in the yard
He also fell
You'll lend me your eyes, brunette
I carry them in my soul, let them look there
The Spoils of that little house
So white and pretty How sad she is
The crops were lost
Todithito is over, Oh!
No more doves, no flowers, no scents.
It's all over.
The palm trees wept their custom
The lagoon is dry ay ahy
The pawns and ranchers
Everybody's gone and nobody's left.
That's why I'm sad brunette
That's why I get so sad to cry
Remembering happy afternoons
That we both passed that place.
