Si en el firmamento poder yo tuviera
If in the firmament I had power
Esta noche negra lo mismo que un pozo
This night black the same as a well
Con un cuchillito de luna lunera
With a moon blade
Cortaría los hierros de tu calabozo
I would cut the irons from your dungeon
Si yo fuera reina de la luz del día
If I Were Queen of Daylight
Del viento y del mar
Wind and sea
Cordeles de esclava yo me ceñiría
Slave strings I would stick to
Por tu libertad
For your freedom
¡Ay pena penita pena pena
Ay pena penita pena pena pena
Pena de mi corazón
Grief of my heart
Que me corre por las venas pena
That runs through my veins grief
Con la fuerza de un ciclón!
With the force of a cyclone!
Es lo mismo que un nublao
It's the same as a cloudy
De tiniebla y pedernal
Of darkness and flint
Es un potro desbocado
It's a runaway foal
Que no sabe dónde va
Who doesn't know where he's going
Es un desierto de arena pena
It is a desert of sand pena
Es mi gloria es I penar
It's my glory is I penar
¡Ay pena! ¡Ay pena!
Oh pity! Oh pity!
¡Ay pena penita pena!
Oh sorrow penita pena!
Yo no quiero flores dinero ni palmas
I don't want flowers money or palms
Quiero que me dejen llorar tus pesares
I want you to let me cry your sorrows
Y estar a tu vera cariño del alma
And be at your side affection of the soul
Bebiéndome el llanto de tus soleares
Drinking the cry of your soleares
Me duelen los ojos de mirar sin verte
My eyes hurt from looking without seeing you
Reniego de mí
I disown myself
Que tienen la culpa de tu mala suerte
That they are to blame for your bad luck
Mis rosas de abril
My April Roses
