Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paloma Negra by Jenni Rivera from Spanish to English.
Ya me canso de llorar y no amanece
I'm tired of crying and the day won't break
Ya no sé si maldecirte o por ti rezar
I don't know whether to curse you or pray for you
Tengo miedo de buscarte y de encontrarte
I'm scared to look for you and to find you
Donde me aseguran mis amigos que te vas
Where my friends swear you always go
Hay momentos en que quisiera mejor rajarme
Sometimes I just want to give up
Y arrancarme ya los clavos de mi penar
And finally rip out the nails of my pain
Pero mis ojos se mueren sin mirar tus ojos
But my eyes are dying without seeing your eyes
Y mi cariño con la aurora te vuelve a esperar
And with the dawn, my love waits for you again
Ya agarraste por tu cuenta las parrandas
You've taken to partying on your own
Paloma negra, paloma negra, dónde, dónde andarás
Black dove, black dove, where, where could you be
Ya no juegues con mi honra parrandera
Stop toying with my honor, you party animal
Si tus caricias deben ser mías, de nadie más
When your caresses should be mine, and nobody else's
Y aunque te amo con locura, ya no vuelvas
And though I love you madly, don't come back
Paloma negra eres la reja de un penar
Black dove, you're the bars of my sorrow
Quiero ser libre, vivir mi vida con quien me quiera
I want to be free, live my life with someone who loves me
Dios dame fuerzas, me estoy muriendo
God give me strength, I'm dying
Dios dame fuerzas, me estoy muriendo por irlo a buscar
God give me strength, I'm dying to go look for him
