Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Boda Negra (El Enterrador) by Ana Gabriel from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Oye la historia que contome un día
Hear the story I tell one day
El viejo enterrador de la comarca
The old undertaker of the region
Era un amante que por suerte impía
He was a lover who luckily prevented
Su dulce bien le arrebato la parca
His sweet well snatched his parch
Todas las noches iba al cementerio
Every night I went to the cemetery
A visistar la tumba de su hermosa
To glimps the tomb of his beautiful
La gente murmuraba con misterio
People were mumbling with mystery
Es un muerto escapado de la fosa
He's a dead man escaped from the pit
En una horrenda noche hizo pedazos
On a horrendous night he tore up
El mármol de la tumba abandonada
The marble of the abandoned tomb
Cavó la tierra y se llevó en sus brazos
He dug the earth and carried himself in his arms
El rigido esqueleto de su amada
The rigid skeleton of his beloved
Y allá en la triste habitacón sombría
And there in the sad gloomy room
De un cirio fúnebre a la llama incierta
From a funeral cirio to the uncertain flame
Sentó a su lado la osamenta fría
He sat beside him the cold osamenta
Y celebró sus bodas con la muerta
And she celebrated her weddings with the dead
Ató con cintas los desnudos huesos
He tied the bare bones with ribbons
El yerto cráneo coronó de flores
The weed skull crowned with flowers
La horrible boca la cubrió de besos
The horrible mouth covered her with kisses
Y le contó sonriendo sus amores
And he told her by smiling at her loves
