La Araña
José Alfredo Jiménez
Lyrics
Translation
Ya estas tejiendo la red
Already you're weaving the web
Como en aquella mañana
As on that morning
En que te dí mi querer
When I gave you my love
Cuando te vi en tu ventana
When I saw you in your window
Muy tarde vine a saber
Too late I came to know
Que te llamaban la araña
That they called you the spider
Cuando se empieza a adorar
When one begins to adore
Sin conocer al destino
Without knowing the destiny
Es necesario llevar
It is necessary to carry
Muchas botellas de vino
Many bottles of wine
Porque se empieza a adorar
Because one begins to adore
A la mitad del camino
In the middle of the journey
Hoy comprendo que por eso
Today I understand that because of that
Me entregaste tu hermosura
You gave me your beauty
Y me diste en cada beso
And in every kiss you gave me
Tu ponzoña con dulzura
Your poison with sweetness
Ya estas tejiendo la red
Already you're weaving the web
Con la sonrisa en los labios
With a smile on your lips
Crees que porque eres mujer
You think that because you're a woman
Tienes el mundo en tus manos
You have the world in your hands
Nos volveremos a ver
We will meet again
Dentro de diez calendarios
Within ten calendars
Cuando te envuelva el dolor
When pain envelops you
Yo llegaré una mañana
I will come one morning
A platicarte de amor
To talk to you about love
Como si fueras mi hermana
As if you were my sister
Quiero oir de tu voz
I want to hear from your voice
Quien fue el amor de la araña
Who was the love of the spider
Hoy comprendo que por eso
Today I understand that because of that
Me entregaste tu hermosura
You gave me your beauty
Y me diste en cada beso
And in every kiss you gave me
Tu ponzoña con dulzura
Your poison with sweetness
