Noches tenebrosas
Pedro Infante Lyrics

In una noche tenebrosa y fría
On a dark and cold night

cuando las horas en silencio me pasaban
When the hours passed in silence

Las doce y media en un reloj tal vez serian
Perhaps it was half past midnight on a clock

los aleteos de un cenzontle que vagaba
The flapping of a mockingbird that wandered

A una mujer mi amor le había ofrecido
To a woman, I had offered my love

jure quererla mientras fuera firme
I swore to love her as long as I was strong

Yo sin saber que en su pecho había escondido
Without knowing that in her chest she had hidden

el la aguijón de una serpiente para herirme
The sting of a serpent to hurt me

Anda mujer con dios que te perdone
Go, woman, may God forgive you

Ya no quisiste vivir de mis pobrezas
You no longer wanted to live in my poverty

Tal vez otro hombre te prometiera riqueza
Perhaps another man promised you wealth

yo no te ofrezco mas que un pobre corazón
I offer you nothing more than a poor heart

ya le rompiste a mi pecho las cadenas
You have already broken the chains in my chest

Y en mi mano una carta escrita llevo
And in my hand, I carry a written letter

donde me dicen anda joven y no temas
Where they tell me to go, young man, and not be afraid

Anda mujer con dios que te bendiga
Go, woman, may God bless you

ya no quisiste tener un fiel amigo
You no longer wanted to have a faithful friend

Y en esta piedra con mi propia mano escribo
And on this stone, I write with my own hand

estás perdonada alevanto tu castigo
You are forgiven, I lift your punishment

Era una noche tenebrosa y fría
It was a dark and cold night

cuando las horas en silencio me pasaban
When the hours passed in silence

las once y media en un reloj tal vez serian
Perhaps it was half past eleven on a clock

los aleteos de un cenzontle que vagaba.
The flapping of a mockingbird that wandered.
