Lyrics

Ya me canse de esperar
y no amanece
ya no sé si maldecirte
o por ti rezar.
Tengo miedo
de buscarte
y de encontrarte
donde me aseguran
mis amigos que te vas.
Hay momentos
en que quisiera mejor rajarme
pa' arrancarme ya los clavos
de mi pena
pero mis ojos
que se mueren sin
mirar tus ojos
y mi cariño, con la aurora
te vuelve a esperar.
Ya agarraste por tu cuenta
las parrandas
Paloma negra, paloma negra
dime, dime
dónde andarás.
Ya no juegues con mi honra parrandera
si tus caricias
han de ser mías
y nadie más.
Y aunque te amo
con locura
ya no vuelvas
Paloma negra, eres la reja
de un penar.
Quiero ser libre
vivir mi vida con
quien yo quiera.
Dios, dame fuerza que
estoy llorando
por irlo a buscar.
Ya agarraste por tu cuenta
las parrandas, ay.

Lyrics translation

I'm tired of waiting.
and it never dawns
I don't know if to curse you anymore
or for you to pray.
I'm afraid
to find you
and to find you
where I'm insured
my friends you're leaving.
There are moments
that I'd rather split
to rip my nails off already
of my grief
but my eyes
who die without
look at your eyes
and my love, with the dawn
he's waiting for you again.
You got it on your own.
las parrandas
Black Pigeon, Black Pigeon
tell me, tell me
where you're going.
Don't play with my parrandera honor anymore
if your caresses
they must be mine
and no one else.
And even though I love you
with madness
don't come back.
Black Pigeon, you're the fence
from a pen.
I want to be free
live my life with
whoever I want.
God, give me strength that
I'm crying
for going after him.
You got it on your own.
the pranks, Oh.
