Lyrics

De aquellos cerros vengo, negra querida
A buscar los despojos del alma mía
Fresquita y ansiosa yo te la entregué
Tu la destrozaste, yo no sé por qué
De aquellos cerros vengo, negra querida…
Este ponchito mío, de tres colores
Me dice que no fíe de tus amores
Palomita ingrata, me has pagado mal
Córtate las alas, deja de volar…
De aquellos cerros vengo, paloma mía

Lyrics translation

From those hills I come, Black Dear
To seek the spoils of my soul
Fresh and anxious I gave it to you
You destroyed it, I don't know why
From those hills I come, Black Dear…
This punch of mine, three colors
He tells me not to trust your loves
Ungrateful dove, you paid me badly
Cut your wings, stop flying…
From those hills I come, my Dove
