Lyrics of Se Seco el Arroyoito - Compay Segundo

Se Seco el Arroyoito (original)

Se secó el arroyito
Que pasaba por mi casa
Lo mismo me sucedió
Con el amor de mi guapa guajira
La noche que ella se fue
Su perfume me embriagaba
Solo su rastro dejaba
En la noche serena
Why por él me guié
Por el camino encontré
Una prenda que ella usaba
En mi recuerdo llevaba
Prueba del querer
Que le confesaba
Ella se peleó conmigo
Porque la estaba celando
Why yo estaba comprendiendo
Muy bien que su amor
Me iba faltando
La busqué por todas partes
Creyendo fuera a evitar
Que mi linda florecita
En otro jardín
Fuera a marchitar
Recorrí montes, veredas
Why por fin no la encontré
Ahora seguiré cantando
Mi linda tonada
Que siempre canté

(translation)

The stream dried up
what happened to my house
the same thing happened to me
With the love of my beautiful guajira
The night that she left
Her perfume intoxicated me
Only his trace of her left
in the serene night
Why I was guided by him
Along the way I found
A garment that she wore
In my memory she wore
Test of want
that she confessed
she got into a fight with me
Because she was jealous
Why I was understanding
Very good that your love
She was missing me
I looked for her everywhere
Believing out to avoid
that my pretty little flower
in another garden
out to wither
I walked through mountains, paths
Why finally I didn't find it
Now I'll keep singing
my pretty tune
that I always sang
