Lyrics

Español

Noche de ronda Qué triste pasa Qué triste cruza Por mi balcón Noche de ronda Cómo me hiere Cómo lastima Mi corazón Luna que se quiebra Sobre la tiniebla De mi soledad A dónde vas Dime si esta noche Tú te vas de ronda Como ella se fue Con quién está Dile que la quiero Dile que me muero De tanto esperar Que vuelva ya Que las rondas No son buenas Que hacen daño Que dan penas Que se acaba Por llorar Dile que la quiero Dile que me muero De tanto esperar Que vuelva ya Que las rondas No son buenas Que hacen daño Que dan penas Que se acaba Por llorar

English · machine translation

Noche de ronda How sad it happens How sadly it crosses Across my balcony Night of the prowl How it hurts me How it hurts My heart Moon that breaks Over the darkness Of my loneliness Where are you going Tell me if tonight You're going on the prowl As she left With whom is she Tell her I love her Tell her I'm dying From waiting so long For her to come back now That the rounds They're no good That they hurt That they bring sorrow That it's over For crying Tell her I love her Tell her that I'm dying I've been waiting so long For her to come back now That the rounds They're no good That they hurt That they bring sorrow That it's over For crying
