Lágrimas Negras
Jorge Mautner
Black Tears
In front of the parade
My kiss
Strong as steel
My hug
Are oil wells
The dark light in your eyes
Black tears fall, come out, hurt
Black tears fall, come out, hurt
Through flowers and stars
You wear one like an earring
Hanging from your ear
Astronaut of longing
With your lips all red
Black tears fall, come out, hurt
They're like stones from mills
That grind, gnaw, grind
And you baby go, come, go
And you baby come, go, come
Beauties are things lit from within
Sorrow is beauty dimmed by suffering
Black tears fall, come out, hurt
Black tears fall, come out, hurt
