Lágrimas negras [English translation]

And even though you cast me into abandonment

And even though you gave death to my hopes

Instead of damning your name in righteous anger

In my dreams I overwhelm you

In my dreams I overwhelm you with blessings

I grieve over your disappearance with immense sorrow

I feel profound pain over your parting

And I weep, without your knowing that my tears

Are black tears,

They are black, like my life

And even though you cast me into abandonment

And even though you gave death to my hopes

Instead of cursing your name in righteous anger

In my dreams I overwhelm you

In my dreams I overwhelm you with blessings

I grieve over your disappearance with immense sorrow

I feel profound pain over your parting

And I weep, without your knowing that my tears

Are black tears,

They are black, like my life

Oh, by the Guadalquivir

My gypsy girls used to wash

Handkerchiefs of white and gold

That I used to give to you

That I used to give to you

Water from the lemon tree!

If the water from the lemon tree should

caress your face as it falls, then

you must give me a kiss

You want to leave me

Oh, I don’t want to suffer

I’ll go wherever you go, gypsy girl

Even if it leads me to my death

I’ll go wherever you go, gypsy girl

Even if it leads me to my death
