Black-Eyed Girl

China De Los Ojos Negros

Black-eyed girlChina de los ojos negros
Why do you look at me like that?¿Por qué me miras así?
Little one of my lifeChaparrita de mi vida
Tomorrow I’m leaving hereMañana me voy de aquí

If you want to talk to meSi quieres hablar conmigo
Just peek out your balconyYa asómate a tu balcón
Little one of my lifeChaparrita de mi vida
You already brighten my heartYa alegra mi corazón

She would pull out her handkerchiefElla sacaba el pañuelo
And wipe the sweat awayY se limpiaba el sudor
For my soul, there’s no comfortPara mi alma, no hay consuelo
What will I do without that love?¿Qué haré yo sin ese amor?

She tells me while cryingElla me dice llorando
"Are you really leaving?"¿Pues que de veras se va?
And if you don’t come backY si acaso ya no vuelve
Your absence will kill meSu ausencia me matará

She would pull out her handkerchiefElla sacaba el pañuelo
And wipe the sweat awayY se limpiaba el sudor
For my soul, there’s no comfortPara mi alma, no hay consuelo
What will I do without that love?¿Qué haré yo sin ese amor?

Tell me, my dark-skinned beautyDiga, prietita del alma
Do you really love me like this?¿De veras me quiere así?
Yes, my darling, I adore youSí, mi cielo, yo lo adoro
Without you, I’m gonna dieSin usted, voy a morir
