Paroles et traduction María de Lourdes - Noche Tenebrosa

Noche Tenebrosa

Era una noche tenebrosa y fría
Cuando las horas en silencio me pasaban
Las once y media en un reloj tal vez serían
Los aleteos de un cenzontle que vagaba

A una mujer mi amor le había ofrecido
Jure quererla mientras ella fuera firme.
Yo sin saber que ya en su pecho había escondido
El aguijón de una serpiente para herirme.

Anda mujer con dios que te bendiga
Ya le rompiste a mi pecho las cadenas
Y en mi alma una carta escrita llevo
Donde me dices: anda joven y no temas.

Anda mujer con dios que te perdone
Ya no quisiste vivir de mis pobrezas
Tal vez otro hombre te prometiera riquezas
Yo no te ofrezco más que un pobre corazón.

Anda mujer con dios que te bendiga
Ya no quisiste tener un fiel amigo
Y en esta tierra con mi propia mano escribo
Tas′ perdonada, levanto tu castigo.

Era una noche tenebrosa y fría
Cuando las horas en silencio me pasaban
Las once y media en un reloj tal vez serían
Los aleteos de un cenzontle que vagaba.

Gloomy Night

It was a gloomy and cold night
When the hours passed me by in silence
Half past eleven on a clock, perhaps it would be
The flutter of a nightingale that roamed

To a woman, I had offered my love
I swore to love her as long as she was steadfast.
I didn't know that in her chest she had already hidden
The sting of a snake to hurt me.

Go, woman, with God who blesses you
You have already broken the chains from my chest
And in my soul I carry a written letter
Where you tell me: go young man and do not fear.

Go, woman, with God who forgives you
You no longer wanted to live off my poverty
Perhaps another man promised you wealth
I offer you nothing more than a poor heart.

Go, woman, with God who blesses you
You no longer wanted to have a faithful friend
And on this earth with my own hand I write
You are forgiven, I lift your punishment.

It was a gloomy and cold night
When the hours passed me by in silence
Half past eleven on a clock, perhaps it would be
The flutter of a nightingale that roamed.
