She is hidden

Suelo caminar en el sendero,
girando vista como manecillas
tan esplendoroso es lo que veo,
que muchas veces me volteo.

_{I usually walk on the trail,

turning eyes like hands

so splendorous is what I see,

that many times I turn around.}

And we

Entre las calles algunas casas,
entre paredes cálida gente,
y una de ellas en especial,
hace volar mi mente.

_{Between the streets some houses,

between the walls warm people,

and one of them in particular,

makes my mind fly.}

set out on

Tan bella y delicada,
aunque apenas logro ver,
resguardada en casita de barro,
una joven risueña de encanto.

_{So beautiful and delicate,

though I can barely see,

sheltered in a little mud house,

a laughing young girl of charm.}

our own journey

Suelo bajar la cabeza,
cuando cruzamos de miradas,
pero de lejos denoto
una risa entre cortada.

_{I tend to lower my head,

when we cross each other's eyes,

but from afar I notice

a half-cut laughter.}

on a path full

Yo muero de vergüenza,
pero no dejo de pasar,
me arrepentiría algún momento,
de no revitalizar mi vida con su recuerdo.

_{I die of embarrassment,

but I don't let it pass,

I would regret at some point,

of not revitalizing my life with her memory.}

of love and dreams

Pero aquella tarde noche,
me fije y la mire triste,
ni siquiera a volteado a verme,
y preocupado yo por saber que le sucede.

_{But that evening,

I looked at her sadly,

she didn't even turn to look at me,

and I was worried to know what was wrong with her.}

no rocky road

Entonces en el pueblo se oye algo,
un rumor de sucios labios,
aquella joven tenia contado
aquellos días en su resguardo.

_{Then I heard something in the village,

a murmur of dirty lips,

that young woman had told me

those days in her shelter.}

or barrier of life

Pues se había casado,
o al menos era lo esperado,
pues obligada y atada a un hombre,
un obligar desde su parto.

_{Well, she had married,

or at least it was expected,

for forced and tied to a man,

a compulsion since her birth.}

demolishing

Que tristeza me inunda la piel,
la joven encantada había sido hechizada,
por manos de hombres corruptos,
que llevaron su vida a tapujos.

_{What sadness floods my skin,

the enchanted young woman had been bewitched,

by the hands of corrupt men,

who led her life by the hand of corrupt men.}

our little

Pero valiente fue el caballero,
que la novia a robado,
entre gritos y algunos tiros,
ella y yo habíamos escapado.

_{But brave was the knight,

who stole the bride,

between screams and some shots,

she and I had escaped.}
