The Latin classic is here amazingly performed by Omara. Miguel Matamoras was one of Cuba's greatest composers. This is a fast and up tempo version of the son Lagrimas Negras interpreted by Omara.
Although you have abandoned me, and although all my dreams have died, instead of cursing you with righteous anger, in my dreams I shower you, in my dreams I shower you with blessings. I suffer the immense pain of your loss, and I feel the deep pain of your departure, alas!, and I cry without you knowing that my tears have black tears, they have tears as black as my life. And although you have abandoned me, and although all my dreams have died, instead of cursing you with righteous anger, in my dreams I shower you, in my dreams I shower you with blessings. I suffer the immense pain of your loss, and I feel the deep pain of your departure, alas!, and I cry without you knowing that my tears have black tears, they have tears as black as my life. You want to leave me and I don’t want to suffer, I’m going with you, my Chino, even if it costs me to die, You want to leave me and I don’t want to suffer, I’m going with you, my dark one, even if it costs me to die. Even if it costs me to die, even if it costs me to live, but I’m going with you, my dark one, even if it costs me to die. Hey! You want to leave me, I don’t want to suffer, I’m going with you, my dark one, even if it costs me to die. Country boy of my hut, you won’t be able to forget me because you won’t find affection like mine. Hey! You want to leave me and I don’t want to suffer, I’m going with you, my dark one, even if it costs me to die, even if it costs me to die, and even if it costs me to live, but I’m going with you, my handsome one, even if it costs me to die. Hey! And you want to leave me and I don’t want to suffer, I’m going with you, my dark one, even if it costs me to die. I was born under a palm grove in the distant countryside and Cuban music is what I want to sing. You want to leave me and I don't want to suffer but I'm going with you, jabao, even if it costs me to die.
Aunque tú me has echado en el abandono,
y aunque ya han muerto todas mis ilusiones,
en vez de maldecirte con justo encono
en mis sueños te colmo, en mis sueños te colmo de bendiciones.
Sufro la inmensa pena de tu extravío,
y siento el dolor profundo de tu partida,
¡ay!, y lloro sin que sepas que el llanto mío
tiene lágrimas negras, tiene lágrimas negras como mi vida.
Y aunque tú me has echado en el abandono,
y aunque ya han muerto todas mis ilusiones,
en vez de maldecirte con justo encono
en mis sueños te colmo, en mis sueños te colmo de bendiciones.
Sufro la inmensa pena de tu extravío,
y siento el dolor profundo de tu partida,
¡ay!, y lloro sin que sepas que el llanto mío
tiene lágrimas negras, tiene lágrimas negras como mi vida.
Tú me quieres dejar y yo no quiero sufrir,
contigo me voy, mi chino, aunque me cueste morir,
tú me quieres dejar y yo no quiero sufrir
contigo me voy, mi prieto, aunque me cueste morir.
Aunque me cueste morir, aunque me cueste vivir,
pero contigo me voy, mi prieto, aunque me cueste morir.
¡Oye!, tú me quieres dejar yo no quiero sufrir
contigo me voy, mi prieto, aunque me cueste morir.
Guajiro de mi bohío, no me podrás olvidar
porque no vas a encontrar cariñito como el mío.
¡Oye!, tú me quieres dejar y yo no quiero sufrir,
contigo me voy, mi prieto, aunque me cueste morir,
aunque me cueste morir, y aunque me cueste vivir,
pero contigo me voy mi lindo, aunque me cueste morir.
¡Oye!, y tú me quieres dejar y yo no quiero sufrir,
contigo me voy, mi prieto, aunque me cueste morir.
Yo nací bajo un palmar de la campiña lejana
y la música cubana es la que quiero yo cantar.
Tú me quieres dejar y yo no quiero sufrir
pero contigo me voy, jabao, aunque me cueste morir.
