Translation of the song lyrics Camino Viejo (Huapango) - José Alfredo Jiménez

Camino Viejo (Huapango) (original)

Déjame vivir tranquilo,
Déjame vivir en paz.
Tú, si ya de mí te has ido,
No debes volver jamás.
Déjame sufrir mi pena
Sin que tú me oigas llorar.
Sé siquiera una vez buena:
Déjame solo en mi mal.
Chorus:
Camino viejo,
De donde nunca debí salir.
Ya habrás sabido
Por todo el mundo qué fue de mí:
Acabaron con mi vida,
Entre la Gloria y tu amor.
Ya ves que se pierde todo
Por un capricho del corazón
Si alguien escribió la historia
De tu amor y de mi amor,
Ha de hablar de tu victoria
Y ha de hablar de tu traición.
Ha de decir que eres linda,
Y ha de decir que eres cruel;
Ha de hablar de tu veneno,
Y ha de hablar de mi querer.
Chorus:
Camino viejo,
De donde nunca debí salir.
Ya habrás sabido
Por todo el mundo qué fue de mí:
Acabaron con mi vida,
Entre la Gloria y tu amor.
Ya ves que se pierde todo
Por un capricho del corazón
Camino viejo… de mis amores.

(translation)

Let me live in peace
Let me live in peace.
You, if you have already left me,
You must never come back.
let me suffer my sorrow
Without you hearing me cry.
I know even one good time:
Leave me alone in my bad.
Chorus:
old road,
Where I should never have left.
you will have already known
For all the world what became of me:
They ended my life
Between Glory and your love.
You see that everything is lost
For a whim of the heart
If someone wrote the story
Of your love and of my love,
It has to talk about your victory
And he has to talk about your betrayal.
He has to say that you are beautiful,
And he has to say that you are cruel;
He has to talk about your poison,
And he has to talk about my love.
Chorus:
old road,
Where I should never have left.
you will have already known
For all the world what became of me:
They ended my life
Between Glory and your love.
You see that everything is lost
For a whim of the heart
Old road… of my loves.
