Lyrics of La Paya - Los Chunguitos

La Paya (original)

Una paya me abrió su corazón
y me puse ciego por su amor.
Me atraía su cuerpo de mujer
y enseguida la empecé a querer.
Ay!
a escondidas de mi gente
por la calle la llevaba
no querian verme con ella
porque no era de mi raza
Ay!
a escondidas de mi gente
por la calle la llevaba
no querian verme con ella
porque no era de mi raza.
La paya la paya me enamoró
su amor en el alma me penetró
La paya la paya me cameló
y pronto en mi dueño se convirtió
La paya la paya me enamoró
su amor en el alma me penetró
La paya la paya me cameló
y pronto en mi dueño se convirtió.
Con la paya me marché a vivir
y con ella era muy feliz
Con locura sentimos el amor
Qué aventura fue para los dos
Ay!
Pero un dia como siempre
Cuando fui a buscarla a casa
se habia ido de repente
sin decir una palabra
Ay!
Pero un dia como siempre
Cuando fui a buscarla a casa
se habia ido de repente
sin decir una palabra.
La paya la paya me abandonó
y toda mi vida la destrozó
La paya la paya se me marchó
sin darme un motivo ni una razón
La paya la paya me abandonó
y toda mi vida la destrozó
La paya la paya se me marchó
sin darme un motivo ni una razón

(translation)

A paya opened her heart to me
and I was blinded by his love of her.
I was attracted to her female body
and immediately I began to love her.
Oh!
hidden from my people
he took her down the street
they did not want to see me with her
because she was not of my race
Oh!
hidden from my people
he took her down the street
they did not want to see me with her
because she was not of my race.
La paya la paya made me fall in love
her love of her in her soul penetrated me
La paya la paya came to me
and soon she became my owner, she became
La paya la paya made me fall in love
her love for her in my soul penetrated me
La paya la paya came to me
and soon she became my owner.
With the paya I went to live
and with her he was very happy
Madly we feel the love
What an adventure it was for both of us
Oh!
But one day as always
When I went to look for her at home
she was gone suddenly
wordlessly
Oh!
But one day as always
When I went to look for her at home
she was gone suddenly
wordlessly.
La paya la paya abandoned me
and all my life he tore her apart
The paya the paya left me
without giving me a motive or a reason
La paya la paya abandoned me
and all my life he tore her apart
The paya the paya left me
without giving me a motive or a reason
