El árbol del olvido [English translation]

Where I was born there is a tree

that is called forgetfulness

Where, to console themselves, vidalita(my little life)

the moribund souls go

So I wouldn't think about you

In the tree of forgetfulness

I lay down to sleep one night, vidalita

And I fell fast asleep

Upon waking from that sleep,

I thought of you once again

For I forgot about forgetting you, vidalita

As soon as I lay down
