Un Grupo de Mexicali - Traición (Betrayal)

Miguel Navarro

The latest from our Mariachi band, Un Grupo de Mexicali, comes by way of a recording done in a professional studio in Mexico. The song Traición (Betrayal) of course deals with betrayal in a love affair, something the Latino soloist sings passionately about. The group shows they are capable of adapting their sound from a traditional Mariachi sound to take advantage of the setting of a pro - fessional studio. Miguel Navarro is the fine voice we hear in the recording, and he is one of the founders of the group.

Un Grupo de Mexicali continues to show us at Big And Tall Records the musical versatility of a good Mariachi band. Frankly, the only exposure most of us here have had with Mariachis is in the settings of Mexican restaurants!  These are fine, gifted musicians that continue to offer up Mariachi music to our Latino fans, as well as the rest of us!

En la plaza de mi alma hay dolor 

Tu recuerdo me quema como el sol 

Prometiste amarme sin traición 

Pero ahora mi pecho sufre la ilusión 

 

Te vi con otro en la luz de la luna 

Riendo como si yo fuera ninguna

 Las guitarras lloran en mi balcón

 Cada acorde grita mi desolación 

 

 Ay amor falso y cruel 

Me dejaste en este papel 

De un hombre roto y herido 

Por un corazón tan perdido 

 

 In the deep parts of my soul there is pain 

Your memory burns me like a hot flame 

You promised to love me without betrayal 

But now I really suffer, and you are to blame 

 

 I saw you with him in the moonlight 

Laughing such laughs as if I were no one 

The guitars they sob on my balcony 

Each chord screams out in my desperation 

 

Your false and cruel love 

Left me in this torment 

I am a broken man 

Left to weep and lament 

 

Ay amor falso y cruel 

Me dejaste en este papel 

De un hombre roto y herido 

Por un corazón tan perdido 

 

(Oh, false and cruel love 

You left me in this role

 Of a broken and wounded man 

For a heart so lost)
