[Immolate]

I was working for five long months
working hard and it's a care
thinking of how i'd return
and bring all my money to her.

When I finally saved enough money,
I returned on a train
All the way to Zenaida's town,
flying down the tracks like the wind.

I got off at the station in a hurry
And I went to her house
right away.
There at last I beheld my
beloved Zenaida,
Wrapped up in her beautiful shawl.
"You can keep all the money
you've brought me,"
She said, "That's not what I want.
" 1 f I said that before,
" It was to see your worth as
a man."
"Now I know that you do love me.
"And if you are serious about
your intentions,
"You should come into my house
"And ask for my hand
in marriage."
I am riding the train once more.
Her parents gave their consent.
All that money meant little
or nothing.
Now I 'm taking Zenaida with me.
