L'encantada [English translation]

Patapim, patapam

I don't know where she came from

She never took a glance at me

And I lost her right away

And then came hunger and thirst

Patapim, patapam

I don't know what's happening to me

And without any mercy

She walked away

She went straight ahead

I don't know what's her name

For me, she's The Enchanted

To see her pass by,

I'd put myself there

Every morning I would watch her

I don't know what's her name

For me, she's The Enchanted

I'd just think about her

And all night and all day

And all day and all night

I had always known about her

And (she) said no and said goodbye

I had never wanted to

I never prayed to any man or to God

Now I am on my knees

Inside the church, bowing down

To beg for what I want

Breathing right next to her

From the earth or the skies

It struck like lightning

And everything turned over

Nothing will be ever like this anymore

No, never like this before

Not even the coldness of snow

Not even the greenness of the fields

Not even a song of a child

Not even the marching of the sun

That would run through the years

I don't know what's her name

For me, she is the Enchanted

And if it's not today

Then tomorrow, for sure

I'll soon talk to her

I don't know what's her name

For me, she's the Enchanted

Tomorrow, I'll tell her

That I have lived long enough

Just to meet you
