Here comes the girl
girl, ay! with the black braid
let her dance
Here comes the girl
girl, ay! with the black braid
let her dance, ay! let her
The girl with the black braid
has an ache
has a heartache
a very long and very black ache
as long and as black as her braid
Let the girl dance
the girl, ay! with the black braid
let her dance, ay! her grief
Let the girl dance
the girl, ay! with the black braid
let her dance, ay! her grief
Let the girl dance her black ache
her black heartache
let her dance, let go of the braid
as long and as black as her ache
Let go of my braid, mother
Oh! take this pain away from me
to dance without her, ay! without her
Let go of my braid, mother
Oh! take this pain away from me
to dance without her, ay! without her
The girl with the black braid
has an ache
has a heartache
a very long and very black ache
as long and as black as her braid
Let the girl dance
the girl, ay! with the black braid
let her dance, ay! her grief
Let the girl dance
the girl, ay! with the black braid
let her dance, ay! her grief
Let go of her braid
take away that pain
look how I love her (mother)
and he is with her
I'm going to ask my little Madonna icon1
that the one who leaves her thus has to suffer
that the same black pain that kills her
gets into him
until his blood turns black
like the black night and the same bones
