Pena negra [English translation]

Because of love there is my black grief,

Because of love I'm suffering.

Because of love there is my black grief,

Because of love I'm suffering.

I ask the sky for courage

And the God to give me comfort.

I shouldn't even think

That you pay so great evil,

I can suffer (from) my grief

And (I) won't think about revenge.

If Judas lied kissing

And God forgave (him) crying,

What can I keep in my soul

If it isn't my pain?

Because of love there is my black grief,

Because of love (it) is that I'm dying.
