Letra Por Un Amor de Linda Ronstadt original

Written by Gilberto Parra

Por un amor
Me desvelo y vivo apasionada;
Tengo on amor
Que en mi vida dej!ra siempre amargo dolor.

Pobre de m퍊Esta vida mejor que se acabe
No es para m펎.

Pobre de mí ¨ay corazŽ.)
Pobre de mí ¨no sufras m᳎..
CuᎴo sufre mi pecho
Que late tan solo por ti.

Por un amor
He llorado gotitas de sangre del coraz
Me has dejado con el alma herida
Sin compasiŽ.

I learned this ballad by Gilberto Parra
from the singing of Lucha Reyes, who is
a cornerstone of Mexican female vocal
tradition. She recorded a most charming
version of it in the 1930's. L.R.


For A Love

Written by Gilberto Parra

For a love
I can't sleep and I live full of passion
I have a love
That left forever in my life a bitter pain

Poor me
This life would be better if it would end
It's not for me.

Poor me (Ay, my heart...
Poor me (don't suffer any more...
How much my suffering in my breast
That throbs so alone for you.

For a love
I have cried little drops of blood from my heart,
You have left me with a wounded soul
Without compassion...
