The Testament
Hey brunette, you are going to be very alone
because last night the radio said that they opened the Lyceum.
As he is a student, Escalona is leaving
but as a souvenir he leaves you with a walk. (bis)
That speaks to you, about that immense love
that I carry, inside my heart
that says, everything that I feel
which is pure, passion and feeling.
sung with the pleasant language
that the land of Pedro Castro has. (bis)
Goodbye, brunette, I'm leaving at dawn
I don't want you to cry for me because it hurts me
I pass through Valencia, I take the Sabana
Carocolicito and then to Fundación. (bis)
And then I have to get
on a devil they call a train
that leaves and passes through the entire area
and in the afternoon, it goes to Santa Marta .(bis)
That pride that you have is not very good
I swear that you will regret it later.
I just wanted to leave you a memory
because in Santa Marta I could die. (bis)
And then you have to cry for me,
and you have to pray to me,
and of course, you have to wear
black and stripe, even if you don't like it of him.
And then, you will regret
how much you made me suffer. (bis)
