He waits for her by the river
She said that she would come
on her horse and he can almost see
the puffs of dust in the distance

She will wear roses in her hair
and she will run to him and kiss his cheek
after giving her horse a drink
and tying him where there was grass

He had walked to the river from his nearby house
Another day had begun
She was buried and gone
and he has torn himself apart

He carries a rose from her hair
The others are on her grave
The river takes the last one
and the stars hold the light of her eyes

Ella espera por el río
Ella dijo que ella vendríaen su caballo y puede ver casilas bocanadas de polvo en la distancia
Ella desgastará rosas en el peloy ella se ejecutará a él y besar su mejilla
Después de dar a su caballo una bebiday atar le donde había hierba
Él caminó hasta el río desde su casa cercanaOtro día había comenzado
Ella fue enterrada y pasaday él mismo ha desgarradoLleva una rosa en su cabelloLos otros son sobre su tumba
El río toma la última de ellasy las estrellas sostenga la luz de los ojos
