Lyrics
En mi pago hay un arbol
Que del olvido se llama
Donde van a consolarse
Vidalita
Los moribundos del alma
Para no pensar en vos
En el árbol del olvido
Me acosté una nochecita
Vidalita
Y me quede bien dormita
Y al despertar de aquel sueño
Pensaba en vos otra vez
Pues me olvidé de olvidarte
Vidalita
En cuantito me acosté
Lyrics translation
In my payment there is a tree
That of Oblivion is called
Where they will console themselves
Vidalita
The dying of the soul
Not to think of you
In the tree of oblivion
I went to bed one night.
Vidalita
And I slept well
And upon awakening from that dream
I was thinking about you again.
Well, I forgot to forget you.
Vidalita
In quantity I slept
