La Boda Gris

The Gray Wedding

La Boda Gris

God knows what you were thinkingSabe dios lo que pensabas
On that sad night at theEn aquella triste noche en el
Church altar when dressedAltar de la iglesia cuando vestida
As a bride you gave yourself to another manDe novia te entregabas a otro hombre

With the nuptial blessingCon la bendición nupcial
I was told that your eyesMe dijeron que tus ojos
Were clouded with tearsSe nublaron con el llanto
And that you were tremblingY que estabas temblorosa

You looked like a virgin withQue parecías una virgen con
Your escaped crown of thornsTu corana de asare escapada
From the altar that night of your weddingDel altar esa noche de tu boda
It was the night of my deathFue la noche de mi muerte

My hopes diedMurieron mis esperanzas
And even though I wishedY aun q hubiera deseado
To see you from afarContemplarte desde lejos
To see you and nothing moreContemplarte y nada más

Fearful that it would pass throughTemeroso que pasara por
My heated mind knowsMi mente acalorada sabe
God a revenge I ran farDios una venganza corrí lejos
From the church to cry my misfortuneDe la iglesia a llorar mi desventura

By the shore of the seaJunto ala Oria del mar
They told me so many thingsMe dijeron tantas cosas
Perhaps to torment meQuizás para atormentarme
That deep inside my soulQue muy dentro de mi alma
I felt a cruel humiliationYo sentí una cruel humillación

May God grant you happiness and that on the dayQuiera dios que seas dichosa y que en el día
Of tomorrow you do not regretDe mañana no vayas arrepentirte
Your fatal decisionPor tu fatal decisión

May God grant you happiness and that on the dayQuiera dios que seas dichosa y que en el día
