The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Mi Ranchito" by the artist "Vicente Fernandez"

In the song "Mi Ranchito" ("My Little Ranch"), Vicente Fernandez uses the image of a small ranch as a metaphor for lost love and unfulfilled hopes.

The ranch, located "there, behind the mountain, where the sun hides early," symbolizes the past, the lyrical hero's youth, a time when he was happy and full of hope. Here he "spent many years," "found his first love," and experienced his "first disappointments."

The image of the setting sun reinforces the feeling of melancholy and loss. The sun, a symbol of joy and happiness, quickly disappears behind the mountain, leaving the hero alone with darkness and sorrow.

The phrase "no one works there anymore" emphasizes the abandonment and loneliness that now reign in the hero's soul. The ranch, once full of life and hope, is now abandoned, just like his heart.

The hero addresses his former lover, asking her to leave and "never come back." He doesn't want to hear "goodbye" because every reminder of the past causes him pain.

He urges her to bring happiness back to the "ranch," which was "the dream of his life," that is, to find her love and happiness with another.

In the final lines of the song, the hero speaks of the "evil black eyes" that "charmed him with their gaze." He regrets meeting this woman, who became the cause of his suffering.
