Singer: Jenni Rivera
Ya me canso de llorar y no amanece
Ya no sé si maldecirte o por ti rezar
Tengo miedo de buscarte y de encontrarte
Donde me aseguran mis amigos que te vas
I get tired of crying and it’s not even dawn yet
I don’t know whether to curse you or pray for you
I’m afraid to look for you and find you
Where my friends assure me you’re going
Hay momentos en que quisiera mejor rajarme
Y arrancarme ya los clavos de mi penar
Pero mis ojos se mueren sin mirar tus ojos
Y mi cariño con la aurora te vuelve a esperar
There are moments in which I would prefer to crack
And tear out the nails of my sorrow
But my eyes die without seeing your eyes
And my darling with dawn I wait for you again
Ya agarraste por tu cuenta las parrandas
Paloma negra, paloma negra, dónde, dónde andarás
Ya no juegues con mi honra parrandera
Si tus caricias deben ser mías, de nadie más
You already grabbed the parrandas by yourself
Black pigeon, black pigeon, where, where will you go
Don’t play with my party honor anymore
Your caresses must be mine, nobody else’s
Y aunque te amo con locura, ya no vuelvas
Paloma negra eres la reja de un penar
Quiero ser libre, vivir mi vida con quien me quiera
Dios dame fuerzas, me estoy muriendo
Dios dame fuerzas, me estoy muriendo por irlo a buscar
And although I love you madly, don’t return
Black pigeon you are the fence of a sorrow
I want to be free, live my life with whoever loves me
God give me strength, I’m dying
God give me strength, I’m dying to go look for it
