Lyrics and translation Juan Valentin - Noches Tenebrosas

Noches Tenebrosas

Era una noche tenebrosa y fría
cuando las horas en silencio me Pasaba
las 11: 30 en un reloj tal vez serian
el aleteo de un cenzontle que vagaba.

A una mujer mi amor le había confiado,
jure quererla mientas ella fuera firme
y sin saber que allá en su pecho había guardado
el aguijón de una serpiente para herirme.

Anda mujer con Dios que te perdone
ya no quisiste vivir de mis pobrezas
tal vez otro hombre te prometerá riquezas
yo no te ofrezco mas que un pobre corazón.

Anda mujer con Dios que te bendiga
ya no quiziste tener un buen amigo
en esta piedra a cincel martillo escribo
tas perdonada a levanto tu castigo

Era una noche tenebrosa y fría
cuando las horas en silencio me Pasaba
las 12: 30 en un reloj tal vez serian
el aleteo de un cenzontle que vagaba.

Dark Nights

It was a dark and cold night
as the hours silently passed me by
perhaps it was 11:30 on some clock
the flutter of a mockingbird wandering.

To a woman, I had entrusted my love,
I swore to love her as long as she was true
and without knowing that there, in her breast, she had kept
the sting of a serpent to wound me.

Go, woman, may God forgive you
you no longer wanted to live in my poverty
perhaps another man will promise you riches
I offer you nothing more than a poor heart.

Go, woman, may God bless you
you no longer wanted to have a good friend
on this stone, with chisel and hammer, I write
you are forgiven, I lift your punishment.

It was a dark and cold night
as the hours silently passed me by
perhaps it was 12:30 on some clock
the flutter of a mockingbird wandering.
