Linda Ronstadt "La Cigarra" lyrics

Translation to:en

La Cigarra

Ya no me cantes cigarraQue acabe tu sonsoneteQue tu canto aquí en el almaComo un puñal se me meteSabiendo que cuando cantasPregonando vas tu muerte.

Marinero, marineroDime si es verdad que sabesPorque distinguir no puedoSi en el fondo de los maresHay otro color más negroQue el color de mis pesares.

Un palomito al volarQue llevaba el pecho heridoYa casi para llorarMe dijo muy afligidoYa me canso de buscarUn amor correspondido.

Bajo la sombra de un árbolY al compás de mi guitarraCanto alegre este huapangoPorque la vida se acabaY quiero morir cantandoComo muere la cigarra.

The Cicada

Don’t sing to me anymore, cicadaLet your singsong endFor your song here in my soulStabs me like a daggerKnowing that when you singYou are announcing that you are going to your death.

Sailor, sailorTell me if it is true that you know,Because I cannot distinguish,Whether in the depths of the seasThere is another color blackerThan the color of my sorrows.

A little dove came flyingThat bore a wounded breastNow almost cryingSaid to me very afflictedNow I am weary of searching forA mutual love.

Under the shade of a treeAnd to the beat of my guitarI sing this huapango joyfullyBecause my life is finishedAnd I want to die singingAs the cicada dies.
