Fuistes derecha, no me fallaste y aunque fui malo, seguiste fiel todo el cariño que me juraste recien lo alcanzo a comprender. Lo supe todo cuando mi daga corto la vida de mi rival, “Es inocente,” y esas palabras fueron elogio de tu lealtad. Volve mi negra al nido que loco yo deshice que el mal que cruel te hice te juro haz de olvidar. Volve mi negra buena volve pa’perdonarme que asi solo haz de darme, dicha y felicidad. Y aqui otra vez juntitos sabre recompensarte con cariño constante tu nobleza y lealtad. Volve mi negra buena que mi cariño espera la buena compañera que no se ira jamas. Y en estas noches de crudo invierno triste y sombrio del arrabal siento en mi pecho intenso frio es que me espanta la soledad. Por eso negra vengo a buscarte quiero que escuches mi corazon Volve mi negra, quiero pagarte con mi ternura todo mi amor. Volve mi negra al nido que loco yo deshice que el mal que cruel te hice te juro haz de olvidar. Volve mi negra buena volve pa’perdonarme que asi solo haz de darme, dicha y felicidad. Y aqui otra vez juntitos sabre recompensarte con cariño constante tu nobleza y lealtad. Volve mi negra buena que mi cariño espera la buena compañera que no se ira jamas.

You were straight, you didn’t let me down, and although I was wrong, you remained faithful all the love that you promised I’m just beginning to comprehend. I knew it all when my dagger cut short the life of my rival, “He is innocent,” and those words were a praise of your loyalty. Come back my friend to the nest that I, distraught, messed up the evil that, cruelly, I did to you I swear, you will forget. Come back, my good friend come back to forgive me That way you will only give me, joy and happiness. And here again together I’ll know how to reward, with constant affection, your nobility and loyalty. Come back, my good friend that my affection awaits the good partner that will never go away. And in those cold winter nights, sad and gloomy, of the suburb I feel in my chest an intense cold, it’s that it scares me the loneliness. That’s why I come to get you I want you to listen to my heart Come back my friend, I wanna pay you with my tenderness all my love. Come back my friend to the nest that I, distraught, messed up the evil that cruel I did to you I swear, you will forget. Come back, my good friend come back to forgive me That way you will only give me, joy and happiness. And here again together I’ll know how to reward, with constant affection, your nobility and loyalty. Come back, my good friend that my affection awaits the good partner that will never go away.
