Lyrics of Ay Pena, Penita Pena - Lola Flores

Ay Pena, Penita Pena (original)

Si en el firmamento
Poder yo tuviera
Esta noche negra
Lo mismo que un pozo
Con un cuchillito
De luna lunera
Cortara los hierros
De tu calabozo
Si yo fuera reina de la luz del día
Del viento y del mar
Cordeles de esclava
Yo me ceñiría por tu libertad
Ay pena, penita, pena, pena
Pena de mi corazón
Que me corre por las venas, pena
Con la fuerza de un ciclón
Es lo mismo que un nublao
De tiniebla y pederná
Es un potro desbocao que no sabe donde va
Es un desierto de arena, pena
Es mi gloria de un penal
Ay pena, ay pena, ay pena, penita, pena
Yo no quiero flores, dinero, ni palmas
Quiero que me dejan llorar tus pesares
Y estar a tu vera, cariño del alma
Bebiéndome el llanto de tus soleares
Me duelen los ojos de mirar sin verte
Relleno de tí
Que tienen la culpa de tu mala suerte
Mi rosa de abril
Ay pena penita, penita, pena, pena
Pena de mi corazón
Que me corre por la venas, pena
Con la fuerza de un ciclón
Es lo mismo que un nublao de tiniebla y pedernal
Es un potro desbocao que no sabe donde va
Es un desierto de arena, pena
Es mi gloria de un penal
Ay pena, ay pena, ay pena, penita, pena

(translation)

Yes in the firmament
power i had
this black night
the same as a well
with a little knife
moon moon
will cut the irons
of your dungeon
If I were queen of daylight
Of the wind and the sea
slave rope
I would gird myself for your freedom
Oh pity, pity, pity, pity
pity of my heart
That runs through my veins, pity
With the force of a cyclone
It is the same as a cloud
Of darkness and pederná
He is a runaway colt who doesn't know where he is going
It's a desert of sand, pity
It's my glory from a penalty
Oh pity, oh pity, oh pity, pity, pity
I don't want flowers, money, or palms
I want you to let me cry your regrets
And be by your side, darling of the soul
Drinking the tears of your soleares
My eyes hurt from looking without seeing you
stuffed with you
Who are to blame for your bad luck
my april rose
Oh, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
pity of my heart
That runs through my veins, pity
With the force of a cyclone
It is the same as a cloud of darkness and flint
He is a runaway colt who doesn't know where he is going
It's a desert of sand, pity
It's my glory from a penalty
Oh pity, oh pity, oh pity, pity, pity
