Viejo farolito

Old streetlight of my neighborhood
Sentinel of my love,
As I sing my farewell to you today
My soul is filled with a great pain.
 
I carry in my memory those moments
That will never be erased from me,
And they will be engraved in my mind
As a sentimental memory.
 
Little lantern,
That you lit up my hope,
I look at you in the distance
With fervent adoration.
 
Don't tell him,
That you saw me at her window,
Overnight
Sighing for her love.
 
Little lantern,
That you guided my path,
You know how much I love you
And I'm dying of pain.
 
I walk away, old companion
With anguish in my heart,
Intoning like an oath
The melody of this song.
 
I want this dreamy music
To be a relief in my suffering,
And in the long times of sadness
To bring calm into my life.
