El Palomo y La Negra Lyrics English Translation b Natalia Lafourcade
You came into his life, Palomo, knocking on the door
The angels from heaven above let him in
Your eyes met hers like an open window
Filling her gaze with happiness within
In the middle of the infinite, they knew each other
They said the world was soon to end
Their souls just barely touching, full of relief
And the Vila Hill turned into a lover’s den
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married
For finding each other again by the sea
They had already wed in a life long past
All they needed now was a rumba and mezcal
Inside their joined hearts, birds took flight
The years went by, weaving their love nest tight
They built their home in many cities
And in Peru, the mountain bound them in unity
Grateful for the good and the bad they’ve lived
Grateful for love that set their spirits free
Love each other through every shared minute
To love is to breathe naturally
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married
For finding each other again by the sea
They had already wed in a life long past
All they needed now was a rumba and mezcal
I want to raise a toast to these beautiful paths
May their cradle be the house and the sea
Lift your glasses, guajiras and loved ones
To this promise of love and loyalty
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married
For finding each other again by the sea
They had already wed in a life long past
All they needed now was a rumba and mezcal
(El Palomo and La Negra)
Rumba, a rumba of love and mezcal
(El Palomo and La Negra)
Rumba, a rumba of love and mezcal
(El Palomo and La Negra)
Rumba, a rumba of love and mezcal
(El Palomo and La Negra)
Rumba, a rumba of love and mezcal
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married!
A little miracle, Lady Guadalupe
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married
(El Palomo and La Negra)
(El Palomo and La Negra)
Speak now, señora, or forever hold your peace
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married
(El Palomo and La Negra)
(El Palomo and La Negra)
Pass the mezcal, pass the tequila
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married
(El Palomo and La Negra)
(El Palomo and La Negra)
And holy water for Guadalupe
El Palomo and La Negra are getting married
(El Palomo and La Negra)
