Prieta Linda
Miguel Aceves Mejía
Lyrics
Translation
Hace tiempo que yo guardo un sentimiento
Long ago, I've harbored a feeling
Recordando lo que tu fuiste en mi vida
Remembering what you were in my life
Hace tiempo que yo guardo un sufrimiento
Long ago, I've harbored a sorrow
Porque mi alma pobre alma no te olvida
Because my soul, poor soul, doesn't forget you
Nuestras vidas son ahora muy distintas
Our lives are now very different
Tu eres de otro y yo sigo sendo tuyo
You belong to another, and I continue being yours
El cariño que me diste mi prietita
The affection you gave me, my dear dark-skinned girl
No lo niegues prieta linda no lo niegues
Don't deny it, lovely dark-skinned girl, don't deny it
Dime que me diste prieta linda
Tell me what you gave me, lovely dark-skinned girl
Creo que me tienes enyerbado
I think you've left me overgrown
Porque todo cambia en esta vida
Because everything changes in this life
Solo mi cariño no ha cambiado
Only my love has not changed
No te pido ni te ruego que me quieras
I don't ask or beg you to love me
Solo quiero que me escuches mi ranchera
I just want you to listen to my ranchera
El cariño de mi vida te ofreciera
I would offer you the love of my life
No lo niegues prieta linda no lo niegues
Don't deny it, lovely dark-skinned girl, don't deny it
Dime que me diste prieta linda
Tell me what you gave me, lovely dark-skinned girl
Creo que me tienes enyerbado
I think you've left me overgrown
Porque todo cambia en esta vida
Because everything changes in this life
Solo mi cariño no ha cambiado
Only my love has not changed
