El Buitre Pasó

The Vulture Passed By

El Buitre Pasó

They say it's almost nightfallDicen que ya casi para anochecer
They say they saw her enter the hotelDicen que la vieron entrar al hotel
They say it's almost dawnDicen que ya casi para amanecer
They saw her very sad leaving the hotelLa vieron muy triste salir del hotel

The vulture passed byEl buitre pasó
Flying and disguised as a pigeonVolando y disfrazado de palomo
His prey left him cryingSu presa dejó llorando
And he leftY se marchó

They say that without a father there is a creatureDicen que sin padre hay una criatura
They say that her mother is a premature motherCuentan que su madre es madre prematura
They say I dreamed of going to the altarDicen que soñaba con ir al altar
They say he dreamed of a sweet homeCuentan que soñaba con un dulce hogar

The vulture passed byEl buitre pasó
Flying and disguised as a pigeonVolando y disfrazado de palomo
His prey left him cryingSu presa dejó llorando
And he leftY se marchó

She loved him very much, she adored himElla lo quería mucho, lo adoraba
But the vulture only mocked herPero el buitre de ella solo se burlaba
With a lowered face and a sad lookCon la cara baja y triste la mirada
There is a dove alone and pluckedEstá una paloma sola y desplumada

Flying and disguised as a pigeonVolando y disfrazado de palomo
His prey left him cryingSu presa dejó llorando
And he leftY se marchó
