Ladino Lyrics

Tu madre cuando te pario
y te quito al mundo
corazon ella no te dio
para amar segundo

[Estribillo]
Adio, adio querida
no quero la vida,
me l'tomastes tu.

Adio, adio querida
no quero la vida,
me l'amargastes tu.

Va buxcate otro amor
aharva otras puertas,
aspera otro ardor,
que para mi sos muerta.

Adio...

Translation

When your mother bore you,
and brought you into the world,
she gave you no heart
to love afterwards.

Farewell, my dear,
I don't want life,
you took it away from me.

Farewell, my dear,
I don't want life,
you made it bitter for me.

Go and find yourself some other love,
knock at other doors,
hope for some other ardour,
for to me you are dead.

Farewell...
