Beautiful Dark-Skinned Woman

Prieta Linda

For a long time I have kept a feelingHace tiempo que yo guardo un sentimiento
Remembering what you were in my lifeRecordando lo que tu fuiste en mi vida
For a long time I have kept a sufferingHace tiempo que yo guardo un sufrimiento
Because my soul, poor soul, doesn't forget youPorque mi alma pobre alma no te olvida

Our lives are now very differentNuestras vidas son ahora muy distintas
You belong to another and I continue to be yoursTu eres de otro y yo sigo sendo tuyo
The affection you gave me, my dark-skinned girlEl cariño que me diste mi prietita
Don't deny it, beautiful dark-skinned woman, don't deny itNo lo niegues prieta linda no lo niegues

Tell me what you gave me, beautiful dark-skinned womanDime que me diste prieta linda
I think you have me bewitchedCreo que me tienes enyerbado
Because everything changes in this lifePorque todo cambia en esta vida
Only my affection has not changedSolo mi cariño no ha cambiado

I don't ask or beg you to love meNo te pido ni te ruego que me quieras
I just want you to listen to me, my rancheraSolo quiero que me escuches mi ranchera
I would offer you the affection of my lifeEl cariño de mi vida te ofreciera
Don't deny it, beautiful dark-skinned woman, don't deny itNo lo niegues prieta linda no lo niegues

Tell me what you gave me, beautiful dark-skinned womanDime que me diste prieta linda
I think you have me bewitchedCreo que me tienes enyerbado
