Lyrics

Español

Me duele el corazón con tal violencia Me duele, que no puedo respirar, No sé qué pasará Con este gran dolor, De noche no me deja descansar. No sé que pasará Con este gran dolor, De noche no me deja descansar. ¿Dónde están mis amigos?... No los veo. ¿Dónde están mis hermanos?.. No los hallo. Solito he de llorar, Solito he de sufrir, Solito yo me tengo que morir ¡Pobre... ay de mí! Solito he de llorar, Solito he de sufrir, Solito yo me tengo que morir. Delante de la Virgen me arrodillo, Le ruego que no me haga más sufrir, Que me haga ese favor, No hacerme padecer, Si no hasta la razón voy a perder. ¡Pobre... ay de mí! Que me haga ese favor, no hacerme padecer, Si no hasta la razón voy a perder.

My heart aches so violently It hurts, I can't breathe, I don't know what will happen With this great pain, At night it won't let me rest. I don't know what will happen With this great pain, At night it won't let me rest. Where are my friends? I don't see them. Where are my brothers? I can't find them. Alone I must weep, Alone I have to suffer, Alone I must die Poor... woe is me! Alone I have to cry, Alone I must suffer, Alone I must die. Before the Virgin I kneel, I beg her not to make me suffer any more, I beg her to do me this favor, Not to make me suffer, Or else I will lose my reason. Poor... woe is me! May you do me that favor, Not make me suffer, Or else I'll lose even my reason.
