Lyrics and translation Rodolfo Aicardi - Naila

Naila

Y yo que me la lleve al rio
Creyendo que era mozuela
Pero tenia marido
Era una noche de santiago
Y casi por compromiso
Se encendieron las farolas
Y se apagaron los grillos
La luz del entendimiento

Me hace ser mas comedido
Y no quiero decir por hombre
Las cosas que ella me dijo
Porque tniendo marido
Me dijo que era mozuela
Cuando la llevaba al rio

Era una noche de luna, Naila lloraba ante mi
Ella me dijo con ternura, que me amaba con locura
Yo le pregunte por que lloraba
Y ella me contesto asi

Ya mis caricias no son buenas
Ya no soy Naila para ti
Ya me entregue con otro hombre
Ya no soy Naila para ti

Naila di por que me abandonas
Tonta si bien sabes que te quiero
Vuelve a mi ya no busques otros senderos
Te perdono por que sin tu amor
Se me parte el corazon

'Me lo contaron ayer las lenguas de doble filo
Que te casaste hace un mes
Y me quede tan tranquilo
Otro cualquiera en mi caso se hubiese puesto a llorar
Yo cruzandome de brazos, dije, dije que me daba igual
Nada de pegarme un tiro, ni acosarte maldiciones
Ni apedrear con mis suspiros
Las rejas de tus balcones
Que te has casado, buena suerte
Vive cien años contenta
Y que a la hora de tu muerte Dios

Ni te lo tome a cuenta
Que si al pie de los altares, mi nombre se te olvido
Por la gloria de mi madre que no te guardo rencor
Mas como tu novio es rico te vendo esta profesia
Alla por la madrugada soñaras que fuiste mia
Y recordaras la tarde que mi boca te beso
Y despertaras llorando y te llamaras cobarde

Cobarde como te lo digo yo, por que aquel
Aquel que no fue ni tu novio, ni tu marido, ni tu amante
Ha sido quien mas te ha querido y con eso
Con eso tengo bastante
Y no le pido yo al cielo que te mande mas castigo
Que estes durmiendo con otro y estés soñando commigo

Naila di por que me abandonas
Tonta si bien sabes que te quiero
Vuelve a mi ya no busques otros senderos
Te perdono por que sin tu amor
Se me parte el corazon

Naila

And me who took her to the river
Believing she was a maiden
But she had a husband
It was a St. James' night
And almost as a compromise
The lights were turned on
And the crickets were turned off
The light of understanding

Makes me be more restrained
And I don't want to tell like a human
The things she said to me
Because having a husband
She told me she was a maiden
When I took her to the river

It was a night of moon, Naila cried before me
She told me with tenderness, that she loved me madly
I asked her why she cried?
And she answered me like this

My caresses are no longer good
I'm no longer Naila to you
I've already given myself to another man
I'm no longer Naila to you

Naila, tell me why you abandon me
Silly, if you know that I love you
Come back to me, don't look for other paths
I forgive you because without your love
My heart breaks

'They told me yesterday, the double-edged tongues
That you married a month ago
And I was so calm
Anyone else in my case would have started to cry
I crossed my arms, I said, I said I didn't care
No shooting myself, or attacking you with curses
Or stoning your balconies
With my sighs
You got married, good luck
Live a hundred years happy
And at the hour of your death God

Don't even take it into account
That if at the foot of the altar, my name was forgotten
By the glory of my mother, I don't hold a grudge
But as your boyfriend is rich, I sell you this prophecy
At dawn you will dream that you were mine
And you will remember the afternoon that my mouth kissed you
And you will wake up crying and call yourself a coward

Coward as I tell you, because he
He who was neither your boyfriend, nor your husband, nor your lover
Has been the one who has loved you the most and with that
With that I have enough
And I don't ask heaven to send you more punishment
Than to be sleeping with another and dreaming of me

Naila, tell me why you abandon me
Silly, if you know that I love you
Come back to me, don't look for other paths
I forgive you because without your love
My heart breaks
