Andrés Gaos takes some unpredictable melodic turns with the traditional dotted rhythm of the Vidalita folk genre (from the northern reaches of Argentina). To be sung with a definite sense of melancholy and wistfulness, though it does finally end in a major key!
lyrics
Tiene mi chinita
vidalita
unos ojos negros
que de amor te encienden
vidalita
y traicionan luego.
Destrozó mi alma
vidalita
y aún la sigo amando
que amar en el mundo
vidalita
en vivir penando.
Amar en el mundo
vidalita
es vivir penando.
—
My little sweet heart has
vidalita
these black eyes
that ignite you with love
vidalita
and betray you soon after.
She tore my soul apart
vidalita
and still I love her so
to love in this world
vidalita
is to live suffering.
To love in this world
vidalita
is to live suffering.
