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
