Tengo la camisa negra
hoy mi amor esta de luto

Hoy tengo en el alma una pena
y es por culpa de tu embrujo

Hoy sé que tú ya no me quieres
y eso es lo que más me hiere
que tengo la camisa negra
y una pena que me duele

Mal parece que solo me quedé
y fue pura todita tu mentira
que maldita mala suerte la mía
que aquel día te encontré

Por beber del veneno malevo de tu amor
yo quedé moribundo y lleno de dolor
respiré de ese humo amargo de tu adiós
y desde que tú te fuiste yo solo tengo:

Tengo la camisa negra
porque negra tengo el alma
yo por ti perdí la calma
y casi pierdo hasta mi cama

Cama cama come on baby
te digo con disimulo
Tengo la camisa negra
y debajo tengo el difunto

Tengo la camisa negra
ya tu amor no me interesa
lo que ayer me supo a gloria
hoy me sabe a pura
miércoles por la tarde y tú que no llegas
ni siquiera muestras señas
y yo con la camisa negra
y tus maletas en la puerta
Mal parece que solo me quedé
y fue pura todita tu mentira
que maldita mala suerte la mía
que aquel día te encontré
Por beber del veneno malevo de tu amor
yo quedé moribundo y lleno de dolor
respiré de ese humo amargo de tu adiós
y desde que tú te fuiste yo solo tengo:

Tengo la camisa negra
porque negra tengo el alma
yo por ti perdí la calma
y casi pierdo hasta mi cama

Cama cama come on baby
te digo con disimulo

Tengo la camisa negra
y debajo tengo el difunto
Tengo la camisa negra
porque negra tengo el alma
yo por ti perdí la calma
y casi pierdo hasta mi cama
Cama cama come on baby
te digo con disimulo

Tengo la camisa negra
y debajo tengo el difunto

I used to think Bill wouldn't know Juanes.

I was wrong.

Juanes is love. Juanes is life. 

Thanks, RP.
No Please!! 🙏🙏May this radio not become the same as commercial radios! Those of us who have been listening to Radio Paradise for many years run away from that "music" crap. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 I am Spanish and I can't stand Juanes or Rosalía at all!! 🤮
Bravo, one of Juanes best. I’m am in Medellin Colombia listening to Juanes in Radio Paradise! We both are from here 💓

Black is the color of mourning in Hispanic culture. The lyrics of the song speak of this mourning figuratively for the loss of a love, and that is why the lyrics say that he wears a black shirt. It has no political connotations at all. 

Exactly, I was referring to how Juanes told the Fascist Blackshirts of Benito Mussolini that the 'black shirt' wasn't in support of (neo) fascism as they attempted to co-opt the song to their message.

I have the black shirt
Today my love is in mourning

Today I have in my soul a sorrow
and it's because of your spell

Today I know you don't love me anymore
And that's what hurts me the most.
that I have the black shirt
and a shame that hurts me

Bad seems that I only stayed
and it was pure all your lie
what damn bad luck mine
that day I found you

For drinking from the evil poison of your love
I was dying and full of pain
I breathed from that bitter smoke of your goodbye
And since you left I only have:


And it goes on

Until I read the lyrics, the innuendo between verses escaped me (owing to the fact that my Spanish comprehension is minimal) and I was ok rating this a 5.

After knowing that Juanes had some humor in the verses, and told fascists to fuckoff with the whole black shirt thing, I had to go with a 7. 

Long Live RP!!  And short live fascism, wherever it's hidding (and that means you, Portland!)

Paint It Black - Stones
Black is Black - Los Bravos

This last hour imho has been the hottest mix of my 8 years of listening. What are you on over there ;)  Many thanks from New Zealand!
How about this being a great song for Halloween? Forget the fascism.
"tu embrujo"
"veneno malevo"
"moribundo"
etc.
I'm inclined to wear a "camisa negra" on Halloween.
Also...
Happy Dia de Muertos, everyone!


"For drinking the malevolent poison of your love
I was dying and full of pain
I breathed from that bitter smoke of your goodbye
and since you left I only have:
I have the black shirt
because black I have the soul
I lost my calm for you
and I almost lost my bed"

Whoa.

now I'm confused because according to BillG, if a song is in Spanish and in a minor key, then it's about some tragic love affair.
 
Based on this translation of the lyrics, it seems that Bill G's assessment is on target!    "I have the black shirt
today my love is in mourning

Today I have a pity in my soul
and it's because of your spell

Today I know that you don't love me anymore
and that's what hurts me the most
I have a black shirt
and a shame that it hurts

It seems that I just stayed
and your lie was pure
what a damn bad luck mine
that that day I found you

For drinking the malevolent poison of your love
I was dying and full of pain
I breathed from that bitter smoke of your goodbye
and since you left I only have:
I have the black shirt
because black I have the soul
I lost my calm for you
and I almost lost my bed

Bed bed come on baby
I tell you slyly
I have the black shirt
and below I have the deceased

I have the black shirt
your love doesn't interest me anymore
what yesterday tasted like glory to me
today it tastes pure to me
Wednesday afternoon and you who do not arrive
Not even showing signs
and me with the black shirt
and your bags at the door
It seems that I just stayed
and your lie was pure
what a damn bad luck mine
that that day I found you
For drinking the malevolent poison of your love
I was dying and full of pain
I breathed from that bitter smoke of your goodbye
and since you left I only have:

I have the black shirt
because black I have the soul
I lost my calm for you
and I almost lost my bed

Bed bed come on baby
I tell you slyly

I have the black shirt
and below I have the deceased
I have the black shirt
because black I have the soul
I lost my calm for you
and I almost lost my bed
Bed bed come on baby
I tell you slyly

I have the black shirt
and below I have the deceased"
Great song by Juanes! I think it fits very well into RP.
I find I'm totally digging Juanes.
This should have a much higher rating.
Did not expect to hear this one here . He's a nice dude but I doubt that this song reveals his musical potencial. Besides this ditty was overplayed on every other music tv/radio station out there,am I wrong? Wonder what Bill got in mind playing this one here. Long live RP!

The album's third single, "La Camisa Negra" ("The Black Shirt"), was used in Italy in support of neo-fascism by relating it to the uniform used under the regime of Benito Mussolini.[14][15] In response, left-wing media network Indymedia called for a boycott of the song.[16] Juanes later stated that "'La Camisa Negra' has got nothing to do with fascism or Mussolini... People can interpret music in all kinds of ways I guess."

My comment about Portland is me saying something along the lines of "Too far left and you're all the way on the same side as the far right" - which is what it feels like to me.  
 
Don't group a whole city into what you see on the news.

Wow!  Someone getting down voted just for liking the artist.   Shame.
