A los montes me salgo
Por ver si encuentro un alma

Pues se marchó y
No viene mi amargo dueño.

Sorrowful song of a girl in love

Language: English after the Spanish (Español)

To the mountains I leave
To see if I meet a soul
That may sympathize with my torment.
Alas, I am dying
Because my bitter lover left
and will not come back.
