ARREPENTIMIENTO
Que tarde me arrepiento, negra
que tarde me arrepiento de haber jugado contigo,
no seas malo con ella, me decían mis amigos
pues de esa forma sufre su corazón, adolorido.
Pero yo no hacía caso, jugaba, jugaba
y ella más me quería, me amaba, me amaba(Bis).
Y hoy que tarde pienso, volver a tu lado
invoco el cariño que una vez tuviste tú para conmigo.
No seas malo conmigo, negro
no seas malo conmigo ella me decía con paciencia,
y hoy que ya la he perdido, y hoy que ya la he perdido
se me ha estrechado el mundo en la celda fría de mi conciencia.
Pero yo no hacía caso, jugaba, jugaba
y ella más me quería, me amaba, me amaba(Bis).
Y hoy que tarde pienso, volver a tu lado
invoco el cariño que una vez tuviste tú para conmigo.
REMORSE
How late I regret, my dear
how late I regret playing with you,
don't be mean to her, my friends told me
because that way her heart suffers, in pain.
But I didn't listen, I played, I played
and she loved me more, she loved me, she loved me (Repeat).
And today, too late, I think of returning to your side
I invoke the affection you once had for me.
Don't be mean to me, my dear
don't be mean to me, she said to me patiently,
and now that I have lost her, and now that I have lost her
the world has narrowed for me in the cold cell of my conscience.
But I didn't listen, I played, I played
and she loved me more, she loved me, she loved me (Repeat).
And today, too late, I think of returning to your side
I invoke the affection you once had for me.
