Lila Downs "Perro negro" lyrics

Translation to:en

Perro negro

Por la calleUna sombraSe dibuja el eco frio donde vaEn un perro, perro negroEntre el humo que aparece por el barNo se encuentra con la parcaPorque se hizo un trato para gobernarEse perro aparecieraEse perro apareciera de nagual

Corre Salta brinca saltate la bardaPor si acaso escucha la corrienteDe la calle que te va diciendoY la banqueta que va murmurandoLas palabras que van caminandoEn las paredes busca la verdadDicen la verdad, dicen la verdad

Por la noche

Un labridoEn lo oscuro del rincon municipalPor un eco en el tiempoPor la mano de ese tata principalQue se venden que se compranPensamientos que nos daban pa pensarQue se buscan que se encuentranLas preguntas que se deben preguntar

Quiere quiere quiere quiere quiere todoQuieres quieres quieres que te quiera

Quieres quieres quieres que te adore dore doreQuieres que te imploreQuiero la verdad quiero la verdad quiero la verdad

Black dog

There's a shadow down the streetoutlining a cold echo wherever it goesin a dog, in a black dog.within the smoke it appears by the barunaccompanied by Death1because it made a deal in order to rule,that dog appears to bethat dog appears to be a nagual2.

Run, jump, leap, jump the fenceshould you hear the currentfrom the street that speaks to you,and the sidewalk that's mutteringthe words that are walking on,on the walls look for the truththey tell the truth, they tell the truth.

In the night...

A bark...3in the dark corner of the municipalthrough an echo in time,a hand from the man in charge,that are sold, that are boughtthoughts given to us to think on,they are sought after, they are foundthe questions one must ask.

It wants, wants, wants, wants everythingyou want, want, want, to be loved.

You want, want, want to be adoredyou want me to beg you,I want the truth, I want the truth....
