Naila
Lila Downs
En una noche de luna
Naila lloraba ante mi
Ella me hablaba con ternura
Puso en mis labios su dulzura
Yo le decia porque lloraba
Y ella me contesto asi
Ya me embriague con otro hombre
Ya no soy Naila para ti
Ya me embriague con otro hombre
Ya no soy Naila para ti
Naila, di porque me abandonas
Tonta, si bien sabes que te quiero
Vuelve a mi, ya no busques
Otros senderos
Te perdono, porque sin tu amor
Se me parte el corazón
Naila, di porque me abandonas
Tonta, si bien sabes que te quiero
Vuelve a mi, ya no busques
Otros senderos
Te perdono, porque sin tu amor
Se me parte el corazón
Translation:
One full moon
Naila cried unto me
She spoke to me tenderly
She placed her sweetness onto my lips
And I asked her why she cried
And she responded like this….
I have been intoxicated by another man
I am no longer Naila for you
I have been intoxicated by another manI am no longer
Naila for you
Nalia, tell why you’re abandoning me
Fool, if you know very well I love you
Come back to me,
Don’t go looking for other pathways
I forgive you,
because without your love,
my heart breaks in half.
