Playas Negras

Goodbye, goodbye, I'm leaving here very far
I'm going to seek solace for my bitterness
Goodbye, I'm leaving, loaded with sadness
Taking a thousand sorrows, seeking another adventure

Goodbye to the port, where so many times
The cool breeze combed her beautiful hair
Goodbye I say, to the black beaches
Where I cried, my sorrow, sir

Today my soul has dressed in mourning
Like the beaches of my town dress
Like that old man, to the sea of fallen leaves
Where I cried, in bitter sorrow

I loved her so much, friends I swear
That for her I had even forgotten my mother
I never dreamed of her infamous betrayal
Pretending to love me, having adored her

Beautiful port, my holy Rosalia
Where pleasure is a source of joy
Ships sail taking the essence
And the sea returns the dregs to the shore

And if one day, being very far away
Someone asks what the black beaches are
I will tell them, crying with sadness
The beauty of my town, the sea and its warmth
