[Updated translation at songlations.com]

Ya me voy muy lejos del pueblo,
Empacando maletas, guardando recuerdos
De amor.

Now I go very far away from the village
Packing suitcases, putting memories away
(Memories) of love.

Ya me voy, rumbo al norte
Dejo novia, mis calles, mi gente, mi México.

Now I go, I head (to the) north
I leave behind a girlfriend, my streets, my people, my Mexico.

[Chorus]
------------------------------------------------------------
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Algún día yo volveré.
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Te prometo mi amor.

Ay, ay, ay ay
Someday I will return.
Ay, ay ay, ay
I promise you, my love.

No lloraré mientras camino.
El desierto y la luna se vienen conmigo.
No, yo no sé donde va el tren.
Te lo juro mi amor, por ti volveré.

I will not cry while I walk.
The desert and the moon come with me.
No, I don't know where the train goes.
I swear to you, my love, for you I will return.

No sé si comeré, ni donde dormiré
Pero con tu recuerdo del frío me cubriré.

I don't know if I will eat, nor where I will sleep
But with your memory, from the cold I will protect myself.
