Lyrics
Español
No te apures, Carablanca Que no tengo quien me espere, Nadie extraña mi retardo Para mí siempre es temprano Para llegar. No te apures, Carablanca Que al llegar me quedo solo, Y la noche va cayendo Y en las sombras los recuerdos Lastiman más. Me achica el corazón Salir del corralón Porque me sé perdido. Me tienta la ilusión Que ofrece el bodegón Con su copa de olvido. Caña en la pena Llama que me abrasa, Mal que no remedia Pena que se agranda. Siempre lo mismo: Voy, para olvidarla Y entre caña y caña La recuerdo más. No te apures, Carablanca Que aquí arriba del pescante, Mientras ando traqueteando Voy soñando, como cuando La conocí. No te apures, Carablanca Que no tengo quien me espere, Como entonces, cuando iba Compadreando la alegría De ser feliz.

Don't hurry, Carablanca I have no one to wait for me, No one misses my delay For me it's always early To arrive. Don't hurry, Carablanca That when I arrive I'm alone, And the night is falling And in the shadows the memories Hurt more. It shrinks my heart To leave the corral Because I know I'm lost. I'm tempted by the illusion That the still life offers With its cup of oblivion. Cane in sorrow Flame that burns me, Evil that does not remedy Sorrow that enlarges. Always the same: I go, to forget her And between cane and cane I remember her more. Don't hurry, Carablanca That up here on the davit, While I'm rattling around I'm dreaming, like when I met her. Don't hurry, Carablanca I have no one to wait for me, Like then, when I was Compadreando la alegría Of being happy.
