Lyrics of Amapola negra - Vargas Blues Band

Amapola negra (original)

eres filo de navaja que me abre
eres hoja de cuchillo que me parte
eres flor de nieve amarga
eres negra amapola blanca
y te meces halagada con el viento
pero marchitas delicada si te tiento
eres flor de nieve amarga
eres negra amapola blanca
por las venas de tu carne vegetal
corre un veneno caro, dulce y sin igual
me arrastraría de dejarme yo llevar
temprano a tu tumba, a un certero mal final
mas tú nunca beberás de mi saliva
ni tu cáliz cobrará jamás mi vida
eres flor de nieve amarga
eres negra amapola blanca.

(translation)

you are the edge of a razor that opens me
you are a knife blade that splits me
you are bitter snow flower
you are black white poppy
and you rock flattered with the wind
but you wither delicate if I tempt you
you are bitter snow flower
you are black white poppy
through the veins of your vegetable flesh
an expensive, sweet and incomparable poison runs
I would crawl if I let myself go
early to your grave, to a certain bad ending
but you will never drink from my saliva
nor will your chalice ever charge my life
you are bitter snow flower
you are black white poppy
