Lágrimas negras [English translation]

Although you have abandoned me,

Although all of my illusions have died already,

Instead of cursing you with fair bitterness,

I heap you up in my dreams

I heap you up in my dreams with

blessings

I suffer the immense distress of your loss,

I feel the profound pain of your departure

and I cry without you knowing

that my weeping has black tears

It has black tears like my life

I suffer the immense distress of your loss,

I feel the profound pain of your departure

and I cry without you knowing

that my weeping has black tears

It has black tears like my life

You want to leave me, I don't want to suffer,

I am going with you my spouse* even if it costs me to die

A gardener of love

plants a flower and goes away

Another one comes and cultivates it

To whom of the two does it belong?

You want to leave me, I don't want to suffer,

I am going with you my spouse even if it costs me to die

I am going with you my spouse even if it costs me

what it costs me

I am going with you my spouse even if it costs me to die

Because I don't want to cry black tears, black tears for you

I am going with you my spouse even if it costs me to die

Because I don't want to cry black tears, black tears for you

Because I am not going to cry

Because I am not going to cry

Because I am not going to cry

I am going with you my spouse even if it costs me to die
