Below, I translated the lyrics of the song China De Los Ojos Negros by La Original Banda el Limón de Salvador Lizárraga from Spanish to English.
China de los ojos negros
China with black eyes
Porque me miras así
Why do you look at me like that
Chaparrita de mi vida
My shorty, my love
Manana me voy de aqui
Tomorrow I'm leaving here
Quieres platicar conmigo
Do you want to talk to me
Asomate a tu balcon
Lean out on your balcony
no hay consuelo
There is no comfort
Que are yo sin ese amor
What will I do without that love
Ella sacaba el panuelo
She would take out her handkerchief
Y se secaba el sudor
And wipe away the sweat
no hay consuelo
There is no comfort
Que are yo sin ese amor
What will I do without that love
Ella me dice llorando
She tells me crying
Pues que deberas te vas
Well, if you really have to go
Y si acaso
And if by chance
Sabe Dios si volveras
Only God knows if you'll come back
Nunca me olvidas mi China
You will never forget me, my China
Que nunca te olvidare
And I will never forget you
Sabe Dios si volvere
Only God knows if I'll return
China de los ojos negros
China with black eyes
Porque me miras así
Why do you look at me like that
Chaparrita de mi alma
My shorty, my soul
Manana me voy de aqui
Tomorrow I'm leaving here
