Lyrics
Mariposa negra que voló, que voló
Deja un grano de oro con amor y sin amor
Mariposa negra, con el sol, con el sol
Busca hacerse sombra con amor y sin amor
Mariposa negra, en cuál abismo, en qué dolor
Se abrieron tus alas sin color, suave temblor
Mariposa negra, no halla flor, no halla flor
Que perfume el tallo de su amor, su desamor
Mariposa negra que murió, que murió
Posada en la piedra se quedó, ya se quedó
Mariposa negra, en cuál abismo, en qué dolor
Se abrieron tus alas sin color, suave temblor
Posada en la piedra se quedó, ya se quedó
(La puntuación y la versificación son de Alfredo Zitarrosa)
Lyrics translation
Black butterfly that flew, that flew
Leave a grain of gold with love and without love
Black butterfly, with the sun, with the sun
Seek to become a shadow with love and without love
Black butterfly, in what abyss, in what pain
They opened your wings without color, soft trembling
Black Butterfly, no flower, no flower
May the stem of his love, his desamor, perfume
Black butterfly who died, who died
Inn on the Stone stayed, already stayed
Black butterfly, in what abyss, in what pain
They opened your wings without color, soft trembling
Inn on the Stone stayed, already stayed
(The score and versification are by Alfredo Zitarrosa)
