about

El Ausente, a huapango huasteco.

A classic huapango inspired by the recordings of Antonio Maciel and el Trio Aguilillas. Antonio Maciel and his brothers were trained in their family's tradition of son planeco in the tierra caliente of Aguilillas, Michoacán, Mexico before they moved to Mexico City in the early '40s to pursue their music. Once there, they came into contact with other virtuosic regional Mexican styles and mastered several of them, including huapango huasteco. We heard these recordings thanks to Juan Rivera, a huapango violinist also from Michoacan who lives in Chicago, IL, and who happens to be Maciel's nephew.

lyrics

Ausente de mí estarás
Pero no de mi memoria
Pero no de mi memoria
Ausente de mí estarás (then response repeats this)
Tu bien lo comprenderás
Que para mi es una gloria
Que para mi es una gloria
Ausente te quiero más

You may be gone from my life
But you are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Though you may be gone from my life
You'll understand well
What for me is a wonder
What for me is a wonder:
Even though you're not here, my love for you grows even stronger

Que léjos me considero
De aquel angel soberano
De aquel angel soberano
Que léjos me considero
Quien pudiera dar un vuelo
Y también darle la mano
Y también darle la mano
A aquel adorado cielo

I find myself so far away
So bound by earthly limitations
So bound by earthly limitations
I find myself so far away
Far from being the sovereign angel
Who could fly to the aid
Who could fly to the aid
Of my beloved heaven

Estoy dormido y despierto
Me siento en la cama y lloro
Me siento en la cama y lloro
Estoy dormido y despierto
Es que soñe que había muerto
Esa mujer que yo adoro
Esa mujer que yo adoro
Ojalá que no sea cierto

I wake from a sleep
I sit up in my bed in tears
I sit up in my bed in tears
I wake from a sleep
I dreamed that she had died-
The woman that I worship
The woman that I worship
Please let it not be true
