Si te quieres ir
If you want to leave
Anda y vete ya
Go on, just go now
Apaga por favor tu luz
Please turn off your light
No mires hacia atrás
Don't look back
Más no cierres con llave
But don't lock the door
Tal vez olvidas algo
Maybe you forgot something
Olvidas tu maleta y tu rencor
You forgot your suitcase and your grudge
Pero antes de partir
But before you leave
Acércate hacia mí
Come close to me
Y observa en mi mirar
And see in my eyes
El brillo inmenso del dolor
The immense shine of pain
Que ciega hasta la muerte
That blinds even till death
Ven sécame la frente
Come, dry my forehead
Y alcánzame el pañuelo, por favor
And hand me the handkerchief, please
No, no vuelvas a ver hacia atrás
No, don't look back again
No mires mi alcoba jamás
Never look at my room again
Ten cuidado al caminar
Be careful as you walk
Pues puedes tropezar, te puedes hacer mal
For you might stumble, you could hurt yourself
No vuelvas a ver hacia atrás
Don't look back again
No, no pidas que entienda tu dolor
No, don't ask me to understand your pain
Levántate pronto y vete ya
Get up soon and go already
No hagas esperar, al otro que jamás
Don't keep the other waiting, the one who has never
Has hecho suspirar
Made you sigh
No vuelvas a ver hacia atrás
Don't look back again
Coloca te el collar, el que te regalé
Put on the necklace, the one I gave you
Aquel que tiene inscrito un te quiero mi amor
The one that has engraved I love you, my love
Colócate el abrigo, debe haber mucho viento
Put on your coat, it must be very windy
Deja el frío eterno, de tu adiós
Leave the eternal cold of your goodbye
No digas nunca adiós
Never say goodbye
No, vayas a gritar
No, don't go screaming
Ni siquiera al vecino, que tus juegos me contó
Not even to the neighbor, who told me about your games
Apura tu camino, recoge ti equipaje
Hurry your way, gather your luggage
Y arroja tu retrato en el baúl
And throw your picture in the trunk
No, no vuelvas a ver hacia atrás
No, don't look back again
No mires mi alcoba jamás
Never look at my room again
Ten cuidado al caminar
Be careful as you walk
Pues puedes tropezar, te puedes hacer mal
For you might stumble, you could hurt yourself
No vuelvas a ver hacia atrás
Don't look back again
No, no pidas que entienda tu dolor
No, don't ask me to understand your pain
Levántate pronto y vete ya
Get up soon and go already
No hagas esperar, al otro que jamás
Don't keep the other waiting, the one who has never
Has hecho suspirar
Made you sigh
No vuelvas a ver hacia atrás
Don't look back again
No
