Cómo nos duele
How it hurts us
Cuando sabemos que el ser amado nos quiere
When we know that our beloved loves us
Pero hay razones que le impiden y no puede
But there are reasons that hold them back and they can't
Demostrarnos que nuestros son sus quereres
Show us that their wishes are ours
Y es delicioso
And it's delightful
Cuando te sientes muy cerca de esa persona
When you feel so close to that person
Cuando respiras su mismo aliento y su aroma
When you breathe their same breath and their scent
Y entre sus pechos tú duermes sueños de aurora
And between their breasts, you sleep dreams of dawn
Ay, corazón, mira bien
Oh, heart, look closely
De qué vale recordar
What good is it to remember
Momentos de aquel querer
Moments of that love
Si ya nunca volverán
If they will never return
Ay, corazón, mira bien
Oh, heart, look closely
De qué vale recordar
What good is it to remember
Momentos de aquel querer
Moments of that love
Si ya nunca volverán
If they will never return
Si tú supieras
If you only knew
Que me desvelo añorando tantas caricias
That I stay awake longing for so many caresses
Con el fulgor de tu cuerpo ardiente, mi negra
With the glow of your burning body, my dark one
Me diste a conocer del amor las delicias
You introduced me to the delights of love
Yo no quisiera
I wouldn't want
Que desatiendas todas tus obligaciones
You to neglect all your obligations
Solo te pido que por siempre tú me quieras
I only ask that you always love me
Porque este amor lo sublimaré con canciones
Because I will elevate this love with songs
Ay, corazón, mira bien
Oh, heart, look closely
De qué vale recordar
What good is it to remember
Momentos de aquel querer
Moments of that love
Si ya nunca volverán
If they will never return
Ay, corazón, mira bien
Oh, heart, look closely
De qué vale recordar
What good is it to remember
Momentos de aquel querer
Moments of that love
Si ya nunca volverán
