La Cañaguatera Lyrics in English Carlos Vives
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Cañaguatera by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
Te juro que yo sin ti
I swear, without you
Estoy acabado
I'm done for
Cómo estoy enamorado
I'm so in love
Te alejas de mí
You drift away from me
Cómo estoy enamorado
I'm so in love
Te alejas de mí
You drift away from me
A pesar de que eres buena
Even though you're kind
Me dejas por pobre
You dump me ’cause I'm broke
Cómo soy un hombre noble
Since I'm a decent man
Yo sufro las penas
I swallow the pain
Cómo soy un hombre noble
Since I'm a decent man
Yo sufro las penas
I swallow the pain
En el Cañaguate
In Cañaguate
Está mi martirio
Lies my torment
En el Cañaguate
In Cañaguate
Está mi martirio
Lies my torment
Negra por qué me olvidaste
Babe, why'd you forget me
Si yo no te olvido
When I don't forget you
Negra por qué me olvidaste
Babe, why'd you forget me
Si yo no te olvido
When I don't forget you
No dejes que yo me muera
Don't let me die
Diciendo tu nombre

Porque las cañaguateras
’Cause the Cañaguate girls
Matan a los hombres
Kill the men
Porque las cañaguateras
’Cause the Cañaguate girls
Matan a los hombres
Kill the men
Cómo sufro yo me quejo
I suffer, I complain
Tu amor me condena
Your love condemns me
Cuando cruces la frontera
When you cross the border
Y te marches lejos
And leave for good
Cuando cruces la frontera
When you cross the border
Y te marches lejos
And leave for good
Que pena tan grande
What a huge sorrow
Perdí la razón
I lost my mind
Que pena tan grande
What a huge sorrow
Perdí la razón
I lost my mind
Porque allá en Cañaguate
’Cause back in Cañaguate
Dejé el corazón
I left my heart
Porque allá en Cañaguate
