Прощай Марикита!

[systemity]

Goodbye, Cute Mariquita

Goodbye, cute Mariquita1

I'm leaving because you

You don't love me more

Such as I love you

Goodbye, chaparrita2 chula3

I'm leaving

to those very distant lands

and I'll never go back

Goodbye, life of my life

The cause of all my pain

The love of all my lovers

The fragrance of my flowers

I'll leave you forever

~ ~ ~

Goodbye, cute Mariquita1

I'm leaving

With the soul very sad

By the anguish and the pain

I go, because your indifferences

Have hurt without mercy and forever

My poor heart

Goodbye, my little white house

The cradle of all my lovers

When I look at you among the flowers

and singing my sorrows

I give you my last "good bye".
