Paroles et traduction Carlos Gardel - Volvé, Mi Negra

Volvé, Mi Negra

Fuiste derecha, no me fallaste
Y aunque fui malo seguiste fiel
Todo el cariño que me juraste
Recién lo llego a comprender

Lo supe todo cuando mi daga
Cortó la vida de mi rival
"Es inocente". Y esas palabras
Fueron elogio de tu lealtad

Volvé, mi negra, al nido
Que loco yo deshice
El mal que, cruel, te hice
Con besos has de olvidar

¡Volvé, mi negra buena!
¡Volvé pa' perdonarme
Pues vos sola has de darme
Dicha y felicidad!

Y aquí, otra vez juntitos
Sabré recompensarte
Con cariño constante
Tu nobleza y lealtad

Volvé, mi negra, al nido
Que mi cariño espera
La buena compañera
Que no se irá jamás

Y en estas noches del crudo invierno
Triste y sombrío del arrabal
Siento en mi pecho intenso frío
Es que me espanta la soledad

Por eso, negra, vengo a buscarte
Quiero que escuches mi corazón
Volvé, mi negra. Voy a pagarte
Con mi ternura todo tu amor

Volvé, mi negra, al nido
Que loco yo deshice
El mal que, cruel, te hice
Con besos has de olvidar

¡Volvé, mi negra buena!
¡Volvé pa' perdonarme
Pues vos sola has de darme
Dicha y felicidad!

Y aquí, otra vez juntitos
Sabré recompensarte
Con cariño constante
Tu nobleza y lealtad

Volvé, mi negra, al nido
Que mi cariño espera
La buena compañera
Que no se irá jamás

Come Back, My Blackbird

You were right, you didn't falter
And even though I was bad, you stayed faithful
All the love you swore to me
I've only just come to understand

I knew it all when my dagger
Cut short my rival's life
"He's innocent." And those words
Were a tribute to your loyalty

Come back, my blackbird, to the nest
That I foolishly destroyed
The wrong that I, in my cruelty, did to you
With kisses you must forget

Come back, my sweet blackbird!
Come back and forgive me
For only you can give me
Joy and happiness!

And here, together again
I'll know how to reward you
With constant affection
Your nobility and loyalty

Come back, my blackbird, to the nest
Where my love awaits
The good companion
Who will never leave

And on these nights of the harsh winter
Sad and gloomy in the outskirts
I feel an intense cold in my chest
It's the loneliness that frightens me

That's why, my blackbird, I've come looking for you
I want you to hear my heart
Come back, my blackbird. I will pay you back
With all my tenderness for your love

Come back, my blackbird, to the nest
That I foolishly destroyed
The wrong that I, in my cruelty, did to you
With kisses you must forget

Come back, my sweet blackbird!
Come back and forgive me
For only you can give me
Joy and happiness!

And here, together again
I'll know how to reward you
With constant affection
Your nobility and loyalty

Come back, my blackbird, to the nest
Where my love awaits
The good companion
Who will never leave
