Isabel Pantoja "Limosna de amores" lyrics

Limosna de amores

Yo debí serrano cortarme las venas,cuando ante los ayes de una copla míapusiste en vilo mi carne morenacon unas palabras que no conocía.Sólo de pensarlo me da escalofrío.¡Que ciega que fui!Cuando con tus ojos, mirando los míos,me dijiste así:

Dame limosna de amores,Dolores,dámela por caridad;pon en mi cruz unas flores,Dolores,Y Dios te lo pagará.No me niegues, mi serrana, el aguita pa' beber.Ten piedad samaritana de lo amargo de mi ser.¿No te da pena que llore,Dolores?¿No te da pena de mi?Dame limosna de amores,dámela tu, mi Dolores,porque me voy a morir.

Yo no necesito tus pobres caudales,ni quiero que cumplas aquel juramento;me basta y me sobra que llores canales,comido de pena y de remordimiento.Pero lo que nunca jamás de la vidapodrás tu saberes que hasta el momento que esté en la agoníate habré de querer.

Dame limosna de amores... (bis)

Alms of Love

I should have been shattered, slitting my wristsWhen before the sighs of my songMy wild flesh was frozen, suspended in airBy words I'd never heard before..Just thinking of it gives me chills.How blind I was!When your eyes spoke to mine, saying:

Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,Give it for charity;Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,You'll receive your reward from God..Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst forGrant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life.Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?Have you no pity for me?Give me Alms of Love, my DoloresGive it before I die.

I don't need your worthless richesNor do I want your beggar's vowsIt's enough, too much, your river of tears,Seeing you eaten by pain and regret..But you, in your life,Could never, ever knowI was already in the same agonyOf wanting you too.

Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,Give it for charity;Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,You'll receive your reward from God..Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst forGrant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life.Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?Have you no pity for me?Give me Alms of Love, my DoloresGive it before I die.

Give me Alms of Love, Dolores,Give it for charity;Place flowers on my Cross, Dolores,You'll receive your reward from God..Don't deny me, my rough girl, what I thirst forGrant the Samaritan's mercy on my bitterness of life.Have you no pity for my tears, Dolores?Have you no pity for me?Give me Alms of Love, my DoloresGive it before I die.
