Y la historia va,
And the story goes on,
No fui capaz,
I couldn't do it,
Y decidí callar
And I decided to stay silent,
Y desde entonces no me deja en paz
And since then it hasn't left me in peace.
Quisiera otra oportunidad
I wish for another chance,
Ya se acerca el duro pesar
The heavy sorrow is drawing near,
El desfile tropas de cien
The parade of a hundred troops,
Siempre me viene a recordar
Always comes to remind me,
La vez que no me pude atrever...
Of the time I couldn't dare...
El sol bajó
The sun went down.
Y el cielo lloró
And the sky wept
Yo sigo con mi canción
I keep going with my song
Y una gran inundación
And a great flood
Por no tragar mi orgullo, pasó...
For not swallowing my pride, it happened...
Ya se acerca el duro pesar
The heavy sorrow is drawing near
El desfile y tropas de cien
The parade and troops of a hundred
Siempre me viene a recordar
Always comes to remind me
La vez que no me pude atrever
Of the time I couldn't dare
Aquella vez que no pude
That time I couldn't
Ver el brillo de tus pupilas, lo sé
See the sparkle in your eyes, I know
Con el viento, sí, con el viento se fue
With the wind, yes, with the wind it left
Que amarga curiosidad
Such a bitter curiosity
Por siempre será un misterio.
It will forever be a mystery.
Los años huyeron sin piedad
The years fled without mercy
Y mi cohete nunca pudo despegar
And my rocket never could take off
Nunca hubo despedida
There was never a farewell
Me quedé vacía
I was left empty
Con el boleto en mano
With the ticket in hand
Con el boleto en mano.
With the ticket in hand.
