La Del Rebozo Blanco

The One with the White Shawl

La Del Rebozo Blanco

That white shawl she wearsEse rebozo blanco que lleva puesto
And with jokes and laughter she comes showing offY entre bromas y risas viene luciendo
No one knows the sorrows she carries insideNadie sabe las penas que lleva dentro
No one knows the sorrows she's coveringNadie sabe las penas que va cubriendo

Her wounded pride suffers from contemptSufre su orgullo herido por el desprecio
And instead of sadly retreating to cryY en vez de arrinconarse triste a llorar
Today she dresses up for a wedding like a brideHoy se viste de boda como una novia
With her white shawl to singCon su rebozo blanco para cantar

Oh, if onlyAy quién pudiera
Under a shawlDebajo de un rebozo
My dear, to cover the sorrowsCariño mío, tapar las penas
Under a shawlDebajo de un rebozo
Cover the sorrowsTapar las penas

Now they call her the one with the white shawlLa del rebozo blanco ahora le dicen
Because they see her dressed all in orange blossomPorque la ven vestida toda de azahar
And many would like to see her in blackY es que muchos quisieran verla de negro
And many would like to see her cryY es que muchos quisieran verla llorar

Even though they have shattered her whole lifeAunque le han destrozado toda su vida
Even though she always goes inside in mourningAunque siempre de luto por dentro va
She covers everything with her shawlElla todo lo cubre con su rebozo
And she doesn't care about the world or its wickednessY no le importa el mundo ni su maldad

Oh, if onlyAy quién pudiera
Under a shawlDebajo de un rebozo
My dear, to cover the sorrowsCariño mío, tapar las penas
Under a shawlDebajo de un rebozo
Cover the sorrowsTapar las penas
