Adiós pueblo

Little town that, one distant day,
when I was absent I said goodbye to you,
today I look for you again in vain.
My little town, who changed you?
Your little houses no longer exist,
full of flowers, of light and sun;
nor do your little neighbors exist,
instead you have desolation.

Town where I lived
my years of youth,
today I come here to alleviate
this restlessness
that I can never, never again erase.
Oh! I wish I could be a child again
to return to the time that passed;
to eternalize forever his childhood
and never know what pain is!
That sweet home
that one afternoon I abandoned,
how much I would not give to find it
so that in my old age
in my old age, to soothe what I suffered,
and in its quietness, to be able to confess to a loved one
to a loved one all my pain,
and before me only to find
a little love!

Little town that one day you were
like a mother to my childhood,
today when I long for you, nothing exists anymore...
How you punish my old age!
Little town that one distant day
when I was absent I said goodbye to you,
and today I look for you again in vain,
my little town, who changed you?
