Abran Quincha, Abran Cancha

Open Up, Clear the Way

Abran Quincha, Abran Cancha

My black woman has left meMi negra se me ha ausentado
And to the sea I went to cryY a la mar me fui a llorar
Oh! Where will my black woman be¡Ay! Mi negra donde estará
The waves answered meLas olas me respondieron
Your love won't return anymoreYa tu amor no vuelve más
Oh! How beautiful you are, my black woman¡Ay! Mi negra que linda estás

They have seen my black womanHan visto a mi negra
They have seen her cryLa han visto llorar
I saw my black woman cryVi mi negra llora
They have treated her badlyLe han pagado mal
Let her come cryingDéjenla venir llorando
I will console herQue yo la he de consolar
Open up, clear the way, open up, clear the wayAbran quincha, abran quincha, abran cancha
Next to El Pilar hillAl ladito del cerro El Pilar
She has gone with another to Playa AnchaSe me ha ido con otro a Playa Ancha
And my black woman doesn't love me anymoreY mi negra no me quiere más

The other night at your windowLa otra noche en tu ventana
I waited for you and you didn't come outTe esperaba y no saliste
Oh! Where will my black woman be¡Ay! Mi negra dónde estará
And not seeing you, my lifeY al no verte, vida mia
My heart was left sadMi corazón quedó triste
Oh! How beautiful you are, my black woman¡Ay! Mi negra que linda estás

They have seen my black womanHan visto a mi negra
They have seen her cryLa han visto llorar
I saw my black woman cryVi mi negra llora
They have treated her badlyLe han pagado mal
Let her come cryingDéjenla venir llorando
I will console herQue yo la he de consolar
Open up, clear the way, open up, clear the wayAbran quincha, abran quincha, abran cancha
Next to El Pilar hillAl ladito del cerro El Pilar
She has gone with another to Playa AnchaSe me ha ido con otro a Playa Ancha
And my black woman doesn't love me anymoreY mi negra no me quiere más
