Marty Robbins - "Red River Valley"
Many top singers have recorded this song including Jo Stafford, Slim Whitman and Jimmie Rodgers, but nobody does it better than Marty Robbins.
From this valley they say you are leaving
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a while
Then come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy that's loved you so true
For a long time, my darlin', I've waited
For the sweet words you never would say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say that you're going away
Then come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy that's loved you so true
Esta canción popular se conocía en Canadá ya antes de 1896, y ha sido versionada en multitud de ocasiones.
El valle del río rojo
Canción tradicional
Desde este valle dicen que te vas.
Echaremos de menos tus ojos brillantes y tu dulce sonrisa,
porque dicen que te llevas la luz del sol
que ha alumbrado nuestro camino durante tanto tiempo.
Así que siéntate junto a mí si me quieres.
No te apresures en decirme adiós.
Y recuerda el valle del río rojo,
y a la persona que te ha amado tanto.
