Lyrics
Arrabal amargo metido en mi vida
como la condena de una maldicin,
tus sombras torturan mis horas de sueo,
tu noche se encierra en mi corazn.
Con ella a mi lado no vi tus tristezas,
tu barro y miserias, ella era mi luz
y ahora vencido arrastro mi alma,
clavado a tus calles igual que a una cruz.
Rinconcito arrabalero
Con el toldo de estrellas
de tu patio que quiero
Todo, todo se ilumina
cuando ella vuelve a verte.
Y mis viejas madreselvas
estn en flor para quererte,
Como una nube que pasa,
mis ensueos se van, se van, no vuelven mas.
No digas a nadie que ya no me quieres,
si a mi me preguntan dir que vendrs,
y as cuando vuelvas mi alma te juro
los ojos extraos no se asombrarn.
Veras como todos esperaban ansiosos
mi blanca casita y el viejo rosal,
y como de nuevo alivia sus penas
vestido de fiesta mi lindo arrabal.
Rinconcito arrabalero
con el toldo de estrellas
de tu patio que quiero
Todo, todo se ilumina
cuando ella vuelve a verte.
Y mis viejas madreselvas
estn en flor para quererte,
Como una nube que pasa,
mis ensueos se van, se van, no vuelven mas.
Lyrics translation
Bitter rush into my life
as the condemnation of a curse,
your shadows torture my hours of sleep,
your night is locked in my heart.
With her by my side I didn't see your sorrows,
your mud and misery, she was my light
and now vanquished I drag my soul,
nailed to your streets like a cross.
Rinconcito arrabalero
With the star awning
from your yard I want
Everything, everything lights up
when she sees you again.
And my old honeysuckles
are in flower to love you,
Like a passing cloud,
my dreams are gone, they're gone, they never come back.
Don't tell anyone you don't love me anymore,
if they ask me to say that vendrs,
and as you return my soul I swear
extra eyes won't be amazed.
You'll see how everyone waited anxiously
my White House and the old Rose,
and as he again alleviates his sorrows
party dress my cute pigtail.
Rinconcito arrabalero
with the star awning
from your yard I want
Everything, everything lights up
when she sees you again.
And my old honeysuckles
are in flower to love you,
Like a passing cloud,
my dreams are gone, they're gone, they never come back.
