Chavela Vargas - Paloma negra download song

this has got to be the best version. you feel the pain, even if you don't know what she's saying. it's RAW, pure emotion.

English translation: I'm tired of weeping and yet there's no sign of the sun I no longer know whether to curse you or pray for you I'm afraid to look for you and afraid to find you Where my friends have told me that you've gone At times I feel like relinquishing the fight And ripping out the claws that cause my pain But my eyes are dying without looking into yours And my affection returns to wait for you at dawn And you decided on your own to find a party girl Black dove, black dove where are you? Stop playing with my honor, party girl Your caresses must be mine, and no one else's And though I love you madly, don't come back to me Black dove, you're the bars on this cage of suffering I want to be free and live my life with whom I choose Lord, give me strength for I'm dying  to go find her And you decided on your own to go find a party girl

I think "Paloma Negra" sounds better with Chavela... My opinion.

I don't speak and understand Spanish, but still her song makes me emotional, I wish if I could see her. I read the translation of this song. What a lyrics! How lucky I am to listen her song.

I knew her personally! Went in the 60's to a small nightclub, where she would light up her cigar and dedicate her songs to women, mesmerizing her audiences.
