Eugenia León & Lila Downs "EL FEO" -- The Ugly




The third verse of this song is in Zapoteco:

If you talk about my girl
If you talk about me in your presence
Tell them I'm your black saint
Tell them I'm your black saint

I am an ugly
An ugly man who knows love
With all his heart
You really want

Paginí kavenash, paduagüinge,
Kaveka Paginí pechimilu
Shllindidó, pati ndanganá feuna
Shllindidó, pati ndanganá feuna
Li mananu, cafeum Garana shi
Rudgidubilashidó, nesachagan alhelí
Li mananu, cafeum Garana shi
Rudgidubilashidó, nesachagan alhelí

I am an ugly
An ugly man who knows love
With all his heart
You really want.
