Lyrics of La Solitaria - Mercedes Sosa

La Solitaria (original)

Templando la macha de la soledad
Me perdi en los montes
Que en la ciudad no hay
Pa' que no me viera
La libertad
Y el nombre que tanto me hace llorar
Desperte del vino
Que me hace olvidar
Esos dos luceros
Que saben hablar
Y este canto alegre
Que es la amistad
De saber que hay alguien
Que ama por amar
Ay cuando vuelva
Sin que me vea nadie
Me ire a cantarle
A los olvidados
Porque no quiero
Que ya me vean
Con los dos ojos llorados
Me ire a buscar
Entre las canciones
Una piel caliente
Pa' olvidar dolores
Algun ser que sepa
De amores y dudas
O una piel que nunca
Haya sido muy pura
Entre chacareras
Sueños y vidalas
De la tierra misma
Construire mi casa
Pa' que vengan siempre
Los olvidados
Que menos la suerte
Todos han golpeado

(translation)

Tempering the stain of loneliness
I got lost in the mountains
That in the city there is no
So that he wouldn't see me
Freedom
And the name that makes me cry so much
wine awakening
that makes me forget
those two lights
who know how to speak
And this happy song
What is friendship
to know that there is someone
that he loves for loving
oh when i come back
without anyone seeing me
I'm going to sing to him
to the forgotten
Because I do not want to
let them see me
With both eyes crying
I'm going to look
between the songs
a warm skin
To forget pain
some being who knows
Of loves and doubts
Or a skin that never
has been very pure
between chacareras
Dreams and lives
from the earth itself
I will build my house
So that they always come
The forgotten
less luck
all have hit
