quote:
ORIGINAL: Kate
Que por la mancha que llevo en la frente
murmura la gente que soy pecadora
mientras yo me metía en mi pecho
mientras que en mi pecho la traición me llora.
No me digas que soy ingrata,
que a mi la traición me hiere
quien dice que los amores matan,
y otros amores que mueren
al pasar la barca, me dijo el barquero
las niñas bonitas, no pagan dinero.
I carry the stigma on my forehead
the people whisper I’m a sinner
while I search inside myself
and in my breast treachery cries out.
Don’t say that I’m ungrateful
that treachery does not wound me
they say some lovers kill
and other lovers die.
When they go by boat, the boatman tells me
the pretty girls don’t pay with money.
My interpretation/translation is that the girl has sinned by sleeping with her lover who has betrayed her. She is now stigmatised and even the boatman suggests she can pay for her trip without money.
Kate
