lyrics

Río de Oyón, río caudaloso
En tus corrientes lleva mi vida
No quiero llorar no quiero sufrir
Por una ingrata que no me ha querido

Me dices que soy mala hierba
Me dices que soy mala planta
Si soy yo una mala hierba
Para qué tú me cultivaste

Con el dinero hay muchos aprecios
Con la pobreza sólo hay desprecios
Así es el mundo en que vivimos
Lleno de engaños con falsedades

Se va se va mi cholita
Se va como se va el viento
Detrás camina mi sombra
Delante mi pensamiento

Oyón River, abundant river
In your current take my life
I do not want to cry I do not want to suffer
For an ungrateful who did not love me

You tel me I am weed
You tell me I am a bad plant
If I am a weed
Tell me why did you cultivate me

With the money there are many appreciations
With poverty there is only contempt
That's the world we live in
Full of trickery with falsehoods

My beloved indian girl is going away
She is going away like the wind
Behind her my shadow walks
Before her my thoughts go
