Translation: A Serenade for me

*Translation: my friend, companion, brother, return

Chente—mi amigo, compadre, hermano Troubadour of our pain untold Minstrel of our abandoned souls Keeper of our traditions bold So loved by La Virgen de Guadalupe That she took you on Her day Now heaven’s honored balladeer For Her now, you may play You leave us with our sorrow Our inconsolable despair So, with a soft prayer on our lips We plead—Volver! Volver!
