Текст и перевод песни Mecano - Maria Luz

Maria Luz

No hubo en Santa Cruz
Ni puede que la haya
Mas guapura de paya
Que la niña Maria Luz
Y no hubo un querer
Mas grande y mas sufrido
Que el que tuvo el bandido
Del Antonio, el de la Ines
Gitano de padre
Vaya usted a saber
La dejo compuesta
Por otra mujer
Con menos de pudores
Y mas de parne
Y ella en sus dolores
Juro por su fe
Guardarle sus amores
Al de Nazaret
Maria Luz, al Jesus del gran poder
Prometio meterse a monja
"Pa ti solo mi querer,
Que no quiero mas lisonjas,
Que saberme tu mujer"
Y desde su altar
Hablo la imagen buena
"Cada noche, alma en pena
Cuando vayas a rezar
Al mirar atras, veras junto a tus pasos
Los del Cristo descalzo
Caminandote a la par"
Pero el primero cala
Y Antonio volvio
Y con arte mala
La descamino
La desvistio de monja
Y luego de na la vistio
Se fue como vino
Por el mal camino
Cantando "Maria Luz no es virgen
Ni alumbra un comino"
Maria Luz
Prometio meterse a monja
"Pa ti solo mi querer,
Que no quiero mas lisonjas,
Que saberme tu mujer"
Pero aquella noche
Puesta ya a rezar
Los ojitos tristes
Miraron atras
Y al ver que solo habia unos pasos
Llorar y llorar
"Ay, Jesus bendito,
Dame tu perdon,
Que no quiero marchar solita
Por mi procesion"
Y el le contesto
"Maria Luz,
Si solo has visto unos pasos,
Son los que han dejao mis pies,
Que te he ido llevando en brazos,
Que yo si te he sido fiel"

Maria Luz

There has never been in Santa Cruz
And there may never be
A more beautiful peasant
Than the girl Maria Luz
And there has never been a love
Greater or more enduring
Than the love that the bandit had
Antonio, son of Ines
Gypsy on his father's side
Who knows what drove him
He left her heartbroken
For another woman
With fewer inhibitions
And more of a reputation
And in her sorrow
She swore by her faith
To keep her love
For the man of Nazareth
Maria Luz, to the Jesus of great power
She promised to become a nun
"My love is yours alone,
I desire no more flattery,
Than to know myself your wife"
And from his altar
The good image spoke
"Each night, tormented soul
When you go to pray
Look behind you, and you will see beside your steps
Those of the barefoot Christ
Walking by your side"
But fate had other plans
And Antonio returned
And with evil intent
He led her astray
He stripped her of her nun's habit
And then he quickly dressed her
He left as he had come
Down the path of evil
Singing "Maria Luz is not a virgin
And she is not worth a dime"
Maria Luz
She promised to become a nun
"My love is yours alone,
I desire no more flattery,
Than to know myself your wife"
But that night
As she knelt to pray
Her sorrowful eyes
Looked behind her
And when she saw only her own footsteps
She wept and wept
"Oh, blessed Jesus,
Grant me your forgiveness,
For I do not wish to walk alone
In my procession"
And he answered her
"Maria Luz,
If you have seen only your own footsteps,
They are the ones that my feet have left,
For I have been carrying you in my arms,
For I have been faithful to you"
