Ay, Pena, Penita

Oh, Pain, Little Pain

Ay, Pena, Penita

If I had the power in the sky,Si en el firmamento poder yo tuviera,
This dark night like a deep well,Esta noche negra lo mismo que un pozo,
With a little knife of moonlight,Con un cuchillitto de luna, lunera,
I’d cut the chains of your prison cell.Cortara los hieros de tu calabozo.
If you were the queen of the daylight,Si you fuera reina de la luz del dÍa,
Of the wind and the sea,Del viento y del mar,
I’d wrap myself in slave cords tightCordeles de esclava yo me ceñerÍa
For your freedom, you see.Por tu libertad.

Oh, pain, little pain, pain, pain,¡ Ay, pena, penita, pena, pena,
Pain of my heart,Pena de mi corazón,
That runs through my veins, pain,Que me corre por las venas, pena,
With the force of a cyclone.Con la fuerza de un ciclón.
It’s like a cloudy skyEs lo mismo que un nublado
Of darkness and flint.De tiniebla y pedernal.
It’s a wild stallionEs un potro desbocado
That doesn’t know where to sprint.Que no sabe donde va.
It’s a desert of sand, pain,Es un desierto de arena, pena,
It’s my glory of a pain, oh, pain, oh, pain!Es mi Gloria de una pena, ¡ ay, pena, ay, pena !
Oh, pain, little pain, pain!¡ Ay, pena, penita, pena !

I don’t want flowers, money, or palms,Yo no quiero flores, dinero, ni palmas,
I just want to cry your sorrows,Quiero que me dejen llorar tus pesares
And be by your side, my soul’s charm,Y estar a tu vera, cariño del alma,
Drinking in the tears of your sorrows.Bebiendome el llanto de tus soleares.
My eyes ache from looking without seeing you,Me duelen los ojos de mirar sin verte,
I curse my fate,Reniego de mi,
For they’re to blame for your bad luck,Que tienen la culpa de tu mala suerte,
My roses of April.Mis rosas de abril.

Oh, pain, little pain, pain, pain,Ay, pena, penita, pena, pena,
Pain of my heart,Pena de mi corazon,
That runs through my veins, pain,Que me corre por las venas, pena,
With the force of a cyclone.Con la fuerza de un ciclon.
It’s like a cloudy skyEs lo mismo que un nublado
Of darkness and flint.De tiniebla y pedernal.
It’s a wild stallionEs un potro desbocado
That doesn’t know where to sprint.Que no sabe donde va.
It’s a desert of sand, pain,Es un desierto de arena, pena,
It’s my glory of a pain, oh, pain, oh, pain!Es mi Gloria de una pena, ay, pena, ay, pena !
Oh, pain, little pain, pain!Ay, pena, penita, pena !
