Lyrics
Ya no me cantes cigarra
Que acabe tu sonsonete
Que tu canto aqui en el alma
Como un punal se me mete
Sabiendo que cuando cantas
Pregonado vas tu muerte
Marinero marinero
Dime si es verdad que sabas
Porque distinguir no puedo
Si en el fondo de los mares
Hay otro color mas negro
Que el color de mis pesares
Un palomito al volar
Que llevaba el pecho herido
Ya casi para llorar
Me dijo muy afligido
Ya me canso de buscar
Un amor correspondido
Bajo la sombra de un arbol
Y al compas de mi guitarra
Canto alegre este huapango
Porque la vida se acaba
Y quiero morir cantando
Como muere la cigarra
Lyrics translation
Don't sing cicada to me anymore
May your dream come to an end
That your singing here in the soul
Like a punal sticks in me
Knowing that when you sing
Preached you go your death
Sailor sailor
Tell me if it's true you know
Because I can't tell
If at the bottom of the seas
There's another black color
That the color of my sorrows
A dove flying
Who was carrying a wounded chest
Already almost to cry
He told me very distressed
I'm tired of looking.
A love reciprocated
Under the shade of a tree
And to the compass of my guitar
Joyful singing this huapango
Because life ends
And I want to die singing
How the cicada dies
