Shame, Shame, Shame (Tribute to Lola Flores)

Pena, Penita, Pena (Homenaje a Lola Flores)

If in the sky I had powerSi en el firmamento poder yo tuviera
This dark night, as deep as a wellEsta noche negra lo mismo que un pozo
With a little moon knifeCon un cuchillito de Luna lunera
I would cut the irons of your dungeonCortaría los hierros de tu calabozo
If I were queen of the daylightSi yo fuera reina de la luz del día
Of the wind and the seaDel viento y del mar
I would wear slave ropesCordeles de esclava yo me ceñiría
For your freedomPor tu libertad

Oh, sorrow, little sorrow, sorrow -sorrow-¡Ay, pena, penita, pena -pena-
Sorrow of my heartPena de mi corazón
That runs through my veins -sorrow-Que me corre por las venas -pena-
With the strength of a cyclone!Con la fuerza de un ciclón!
It's the same as a cloudyEs lo mismo que un nublado
Of darkness and flintDe tiniebla y pedernal
It's a wild horseEs un potro desbocado
That doesn't know where it's goingQue no sabe dónde va
It's a desert of sand -sorrow-Es un desierto de arena -pena-
It's my glory in a penitentiaryEs mi gloria en un penal
Oh, penitentiary! Oh, penitentiary!¡Ay, penal! ¡Ay, penal!
Oh, sorrow, little sorrow, sorrow!¡Ay, pena, penita, pena!

I don't want flowers, money, or palmsYo no quiero flores, dinero, ni palmas
I want them to let me cry your sorrowsQuiero que me dejen llorar tus pesares
And be by your side, my dear loveY estar a tu vera, cariño del alma
Drinking the tears of your flamenco songsBebiéndome el llanto de tus soleares
My eyes hurt from looking without seeing youMe duelen los ojos de mirar sin verte
I deny myselfReniego de mí
My April roses are to blameQue tienen la culpa de tu mala suerte
For your misfortuneMis rosas de abril

Oh, sorrow, little sorrow, sorrow -sorrow-¡Ay, pena, penita, pena -pena-
Sorrow of my heartPena de mi corazón
That runs through my veins -sorrow-Que me corre por las venas -pena-
With the strength of a cyclone!Con la fuerza de un ciclón!
It's the same as a cloudyEs lo mismo que un nublado
Of darkness and flintDe tiniebla y pedernal
It's a wild horseEs un potro desbocado
That doesn't know where it's goingQue no sabe dónde va
It's a desert of sand -sorrow-Es un desierto de arena -pena-
It's my glory in a penitentiaryEs mi gloria en un penal
Oh, penitentiary! Oh, penitentiary!¡Ay, penal! ¡Ay, penal!
Oh, sorrow, little sorrow, sorrow!¡Ay, pena, penita, pena!
