Prieta Linda

For a long time I have kept a feeling
Remembering what you were in my life
For a long time I have kept a suffering
Because my soul, poor soul, doesn't forget you

Our lives are now very different
You belong to another and I continue to be yours
The affection you gave me, my dark-skinned girl
Don't deny it, beautiful dark-skinned woman, don't deny it

Tell me what you gave me, beautiful dark-skinned woman
I think you have me bewitched
Because everything changes in this life
Only my affection has not changed

I don't ask or beg you to love me
I just want you to listen to me, my ranchera
I would offer you the affection of my life
Don't deny it, beautiful dark-skinned woman, don't deny it

Tell me what you gave me, beautiful dark-skinned woman
I think you have me bewitched
Because everything changes in this life
Only my affection has not changed
