Triste me voy a los campos; por momentos y por horas, a ver si encuentro la prenda que mi corazón adora. Yo le pregunto a los astros que me digan dónde habita... Y me responden llorando: lejos está de tu vista Si sientes doblar campanas no preguntes quién murió; que estando ausente de tí... Quién ha de ser, si no yo

With sadness I go to the fields to see if I can find the beloved one that my heart adores I ask the stars if they know where she lives And they answer in weeping tears: far away from your sight. If you hear bells ringing, don't ask who has died; because being away from you... Who could that be, but me.
