Carlita is waiting down on see & 9th In mantilla and lace And her lover's knife Cries out for revenge But she is silent like a stone And beautiful in her widow's weeds I wait in the darkness Forever now alone Too late for any tear shedding While his bride waits down on see & 9th For her blood wedding Why did you have to go out tonight With the full moon in scarlet And his silver knife Waiting for you And the remains of your life Ticking away like some pitiful clock And I who could not even be called your wife Safe and warm in your bedding And you the bridegroom off on your wayTo your blood wedding And the Ukrainian ladies Light candles in the street Where his body lay bleeding And the projects are silentBracing for the heat That must come from his blood wedding Carlita why do you hate me so much I long for your body I die for your touch On my burning skinAnd the smell of your perfume Will always remain on my bedBut I died every time You entered his room I could not let him go on living And now you wait down on see & 9thDying to celebrate my blood wedding I wait in the shadows of see & 9th Letras de cancionesWith my fingers caressingHis sacred knife You loved my body But he loved my soul You thought you knew me But what do men know Except my lover whose shape is etched in chalk on the street Soon to be washed away by the rain While you wait in the darkness dreading The shock of my knife At your blood wedding From Letras Mania
