Paloma Negra Lyrics

Ya me canso de llorar
Y no amanece
Ya no sé si maldecirte o
Por tí rezar.

Tengo miedo
De buscarte
Y de encontrarte
Donde
Me aseguran
Tus amigos
Que te vas.

Hay momentos
En que quisiera
Mejor rajarme
Arrancarme ya los clavos
De mi pena.

Pero mis ojos
Se mueren
Sin mirar tus ojos.

Y mi cariño
Con la aurora
Te vuelve a esperar.

Ya agarraste
Por tu cuenta
¡La parranda!

Paloma Negra
Paloma Negra
¿Dónde andarás?

Ya no juegues
con mi honra
Parrandera
Si tus caricias
Deben ser mías
¡De nadie más!

Y aunque te ame
Con locura
Ya no vuelvas

Paloma Negra
En la reja de un penar

Quiero ser libre
vivir mi vida
Con quien yo quiera

Dios, dame fuerzas
Que estoy muriendo
Por irlo a buscar.

Ya agarraste
Por tu cuenta
¡La parranda!

Cover art for Paloma Negra lyrics by Lila Downs

This my favorite Spanish song. I'll try to translate it the best I can, but Spanish isn't my first language.

Now I'm tired of crying And the sun hasn't risen Now I don't know whether to badmouth you or pray for you

I'm afraid to to look for you And to find you Where my friends assure me you are

There's times I wanted to cut myself off And rip out the nails of my prison But my eyes die without seeing your eyes And my heart goes back to waiting for you with the dawn.

You got the whole party with your story Black dove, black dove, where are you going Don't play with my reputation If your caress should be mine and nobody else's

Even though I loved you, like crazy Don't come back Black dove, you're the bar of a prison I want to be free Live my life with who I want

God give me strength, Because I'm dying to go find her

You got the whole party with your story

My favorite part is my eyes die without looking at your eyes.

Pero mis ojos, se mueren, sin mirar tus ojos.
