Translation of the song lyrics Boda Negra (El Enterrador) - Ana Gabriel

Boda Negra (El Enterrador) (original)

Oye la historia que contome un día
El viejo enterrador de la comarca
Era un amante que por suerte impía
Su dulce bien le arrebato la parca
Todas las noches iba al cementerio
A visistar la tumba de su hermosa
La gente murmuraba con misterio
Es un muerto escapado de la fosa
En una horrenda noche hizo pedazos
El mármol de la tumba abandonada
Cavó la tierra y se llevó en sus brazos
El rigido esqueleto de su amada
Y allá en la triste habitacón sombría
De un cirio fúnebre a la llama incierta
Sentó a su lado la osamenta fría
Y celebró sus bodas con la muerta
Ató con cintas los desnudos huesos
El yerto cráneo coronó de flores
La horrible boca la cubrió de besos
Y le contó sonriendo sus amores

Boda Negra (El Enterrador) (translation)

Hear the story I told one day
The old undertaker of the region
He was a lover who luckily unholy
His sweet good of him snatched the grim reaper
Every night he went to the cemetery
To visit the grave of his beautiful
The people murmured with mystery
He is a dead man escaped from the pit
On one horrendous night he tore to pieces
The marble of the abandoned tomb
He dug up the earth and carried it in his arms
The rigid skeleton of his beloved
And there in the sad gloomy room
From a funeral candle to the uncertain flame
He sat beside him the cold bones
And he celebrated his wedding with the dead
He bound the bare bones with ribbons
The stiff skull crowned with flowers
Her horrible mouth covered her with kisses
And she told him smiling her loves
