Paroles et traduction Chayito Valdez - Prenda Querida

Prenda Querida

En las cumbres de un verde mezquite,
Tristemente cantaba un jilguero,
Y decía en sus cantares tan tristes,
Como daña un amor traicionero.
Por lo poco que pude entenderle,
Son sus penas iguales que las mías,
Porque yo que sí supe quererte,
Sin pensar en que me olvidarías.
Vuelve, vuelve, bien de mi vida,
Mira que sufro por tu abandono,
Vuelve, vuelve, prenda querida,
Por lo pasado yo te perdono.
Esperándo que vuelvas conmigo,
Yo vendré cada noche de luna,
Aunque sea tú querer mí castigo,
O de plano me mande a la tumba.
Vuelve, vuelve, bien de mi vida,
Mira que sufro por tu abandono,
Vuelve, vuelve, prenda querida,
Por lo pasado yo te perdono.

Dear Love

On the tops of a green mesquite,
A goldfinch was singing sadly,
And he said in his sorrowful songs,
How a treacherous love hurts.
From the little I could understand,
His sorrows are the same as mine,
Because I who knew how to love you,
Without thinking that you would forget me.
Come back, come back, my love,
Look how I suffer from your abandonment,
Come back, come back, dear love,
For the past I forgive you.
Waiting for you to come back with me,
I will come every moonlit night,
Even if your desire is my punishment,
Or if you send me to the grave.
Come back, come back, my love,
Look how I suffer from your abandonment,
Come back, come back, dear love,
For the past I forgive you.
