Déjala déjala dejala déjala déjala
Let her go, let her go, let her go, let her go, let her go
porque ese amor no ha sido tan modesto
because that love has not been so modest
y su cariño nunca fue perfecto
and her affection was never perfect
ya jamás será de ti
it will never be yours again
y tanto tiempo que anduviste sin pensar
and so much time you wandered without thinking
Que su vida la pudiste consagrar
That you could have dedicated your life to her
y muy tarde te inspirado
and too late you got inspired
porque ya te ha reprochado y no quiere tu final
because she has already reproached you and doesn’t want your end
Déjala déjala dejala déjala déjala
Let her go, let her go, let her go, let her go, let her go
nunca en la vida martirices la razón
never in life should you martyr the reason
porque la fuerza no convence al corazón
because strength doesn't convince the heart
y que al decir verdad es para mi
and to tell the truth, it's for me
Déjala déjala dejala déjala déjala
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
porque ese amor no ha sido tan modesto
because that love has not been so modest
y su cariño nunca fue petfecto
and her affection was never perfect
ya jamás será de ti
it will never be yours again
tanto tiempo que anduviste sin pensar
so much time you wandered without thinking
Que su vida la pudiste consagrar
That you could dedicate your life to her
y muy te ha inspirado porque ya te ha reprochado
and she's inspired you so much because she's already reproached you
y no quiere tu final
and she doesn't want your end
Déjala déjala dejala déjala déjala
Let her go, let her go, let her go, let her go, let her go
nunca en la vida martirices la razón
never in life should you torture the reason
porque la fuerza no convence al corazón
because strength doesn't convince the heart
y que al decir verdad
and to tell the truth
es para mi
it's for me

About this song
Firmly fixed in the Latin music firmament as "El Sonero Mayor" (The Greatest Singer), Ismael Rivera was blessed with a gloriously husky voice, which he honed into a unique improvisational instrument.
