El Jinete

The Rider

El Jinete

Through the distant mountainPor la lejana montaña
A rider is ridingVa cabalgando un jinete
Wandering alone in the worldVaga solito en el mundo
And wishing for deathY va deseando la muerte

Carries a wound in his chestLleva en el pecho una herida
Goes with his soul shatteredVa con su alma destrozada
He would like to lose his lifeQuisiera perder la vida
And reunite with his belovedY reunirse con su amada

He loved her more than his lifeLa queria más que a su vida
And lost her foreverY la perdio para siempre
That's why he carries a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's why he seeks deathPor eso busca la muerte

With his guitar singingCon su guitarra cantando
He spends whole nightsSe pasa noches enteras
Man and guitar cryingHombre y guitarra llorando
In the light of the starsA la luz de las estrellas

Then he gets lost in the nightDespues se pierde en la noche
And although the night is very beautifulY aunque la noche es muy bella
He asks GodEl va pidiendole a dios
To take him with herQue se lo lleve con ella

He loved her more than his lifeLa queria más que a su vida
And lost her foreverY la perdio para siempre
That's why he carries a woundPor eso lleva una herida
That's why he seeks deathPor eso busca la muerte
That's why he carries a wound...Por eso lleva una herida...
