| La Negra Sabrosa (original) | La Negra Sabrosa (translation) |
|---|---|
| Que lejos estoy del suelo donde he nacido! | How far I am from the ground where I was born! |
| Inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento; | Immense nostalgia invades my thoughts; |
| Y al ver me tan solo y triste qual hoja al viento | And seeing me alone and sad like a leaf in the wind |
| Quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento | I would like to cry, I would like to die of feeling |
| Oh tierra del sol!, suspiro por verte | Oh land of the sun! I long to see you |
| Ahora que lejos yo vivo sin luz, sin amor; | Now that far away I live without light, without love; |
| Y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento | And seeing me so alone and sad as a leaf in the wind |
| Quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento | I would like to cry, I would like to die of feeling |
