The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Negra Chau" by Alfredo Zitarrosa.
Lyrics
Negra chau, me voy
Yo no soy lo que precisabas vos
Yo sé que el amor que hay que cuidar más
No es el que me dabas
Chau negra, me voy sin rencor
Todo lo que no te consentí
Debía ser así Lilí
Cuando te conocí
Dijiste que el amor era dar y pedir Lilí
Las cosas son así, yo no te puedo dar
Lo que no recibí, Lilí
Negra chau, me voy a vivir
No me hace falta tu amor
Se parece demasiado al temor
De no ser amada
(La versificación y la puntuación son de Alfredo Zitarrosa.)
Lyrics translation
Black bye, I'm leaving
I'm not what you needed.
I know that love you need to take care more
It's not the one you gave me.
Bye black, I'm leaving without a grudge
Everything I didn't consent to
It must have been like this, Lili.
When I met you
You said Love was giving and asking Lili
Things are like this, I can't give you
What I didn't get, Lili
Black bye, I'm going to live
I don't need your love
It's too much like fear.
Of not being loved
(The versification and punctuation are by Alfredo Zitarrosa.)
