La cigarra [English translation]
La cigarra [English translation]
Don't sing to me anymore cicada ,
finish your song
because your song is like a dagger through my soul,
knowing that ,when you are singing
you're going spreading your mind around
Sailor, sailor
tell me if it's true that you know it
because I can't distinguish
if in the bottom of the sea
there is other darkest black color
than the color of my sorrows
Haylai, hailarala, haylarala
there is other darkest black color
than the color of my sorrows
A little pigeon with the chest wounded
he got so upset and crying, he told me
that he got tired of looking for
a requited love
Under the shadow of a tree
and the rhythm of my guitar
I'm singing this * Huapango
because life is ending
and I want to die singing
like it dies the cicada
Haylai, hailarala, haylarala
and I want to die singing
like it dies the cicada -
