Miguelito [English translation]

With every breath I take it hurts

I wail like an apple tree in blossom under the saw

Ah, tell me, my Miguelito

What has the night hidden under the black mantilla

Why is the ground red in front of my father's house

What has the moonlight seen tonight

Are you still my husband or the murdered of my brothers

And whose side do I take now

Mi hermanos cantan (my brothers are singing)

I can hear their song from the depths of the earth

Mi hermanos cantan

Is their or yours blood closer to me, Miguelito

I'm sitting at the window, needlework on my lap

Under the hanks of yarn I have a knife hidden away

Ah, Miguelito, I will cut your life with it

I'm still afraid, but I have already chosen

Mi hermanos cantan

I can hear their song from the depths of the earth

Mi hermanos cantan

Is their or yours blood closer to me, Miguelito

With every breath I take it hurts

I wail like an apple tree in blossom under the saw

I have killed you, my Miguelito

I wish the earth covered me with a black mantilla too

Mi hermanos cantan

I can hear their song from the depths of the earth

Mi hermanos cantan

Is their or yours blood closer to me, Miguelito
