La Resentida
Los Chalchaleros
Lyrics
Translation
Si mi negra me abandona
If my black woman leaves me
lloraré toda la vida.
I will cry all my life.
Dicen que no me perdona,
They say she doesn't forgive me,
la resentida, la resentida.
the resentful one, the resentful one.
Lloraré mi triste suerte
I will cry for my sad fate
si su cariño me olvida
if her affection forgets me
yo nací para quererte
I was born to love you
toda la vida, toda la vida.
all my life, all my life.
Pobre mi corazón,
Poor my heart,
cansado de llorar.
tired of crying.
Busca en mi pecho la calma,
Look for calm in my chest,
dueña de mi alma, dueña de mi alma.
owner of my soul, owner of my soul.
Busca en mi pecho la calma,
Look for calm in my chest,
dueña de mi alma, y mi corazón.
owner of my soul, and my heart.
Que tengo un amor ausente,
Because I have a distant love,
por eso está resentida.
that's why she's resentful.
No le hagas caso a la gente,
Don't pay attention to people,
mujer querida, mujer querida.
beloved woman, beloved woman.
Te han dicho que no te quiero,
They have told you that I don't love you,
por eso estás resentida.
that's why you're resentful.
Si por tu amor yo me muero,
If I die for your love,
toda la vida, toda la vida.
all my life, all my life.
