Lyrics

Aunque tú me has dejado en el abandono
Aunque ya han muerto todas mis ilusiones
En vez de maldecirte con justo encono
En mis sueños te colmo de bendiciones
Sufro la inmensa pena de tu extravío
Siento el dolor profundo de tu partida
Y lloro sin que sepas que el llanto mío
Tiene lágrimas negras
Tiene lágrimas negras como mi vida
Y lloro sin que sepas que el llanto mío
Tiene lágrimas negras
Tiene lágrimas negras como mi vida
Tú me quieres dejar
Yo no quiero sufrir
Contigo me voy mi santa
Aunque me cueste morir
Que tú me quieres dejar
Y yo no quiero sufrir
Contigo me voy mi negro
Aunque me cueste morir
Tú me quieres dejar
Yo no quiero sufrir
Contigo me voy mi santa
Aunque me cueste morir
Un jardinero de amor
Siembra una flor y se va
Otro viene y la cultiva
¿de cuál de los dos será?
Zapato que yo me he puesto
Y lo boté al basurero
Viene otra y lo recoge
Yo, yo me lo puse primero
Tú me quieres dejar
Yo no quiero sufrir
Contigo me voy mi santa
Aunque me cueste morir

Lyrics translation

Although you have left me in abandonment
Although all my illusions have already died
Instead of cursing you with righteous anger
In my dreams I fill you with blessings
I suffer the immense pain of your loss
I feel the deep pain of your departure
And I cry without you knowing that my cry
She's got black tears
She's got black tears like my life
And I cry without you knowing that my cry
She's got black tears
She's got black tears like my life
You want to leave me
I don't want to suffer
With you I go my santa
Even if it costs me to die
That you want to leave me
And I don't want to suffer
With you I go my black
Even if it costs me to die
You want to leave me
I don't want to suffer
With you I go my santa
Even if it costs me to die
A gardener of love
He sows a flower and leaves
Another comes and grows it
which one will it be from?
Shoe I've worn
And I threw it in the dumpster
Another one comes and picks it up.
I-I put it on first.
You want to leave me
I don't want to suffer
With you I go my santa
Even if it costs me to die
