  1. La otra noche cuando pasé por tu casa

    The other night when I passed by your house

  2. Sabiendo yo que allí estabas

    Knowing that you were there

  3. Te negaste a contestar

    You refused to answer

  4. Ya era tarde, pensé que estabas dormida

    It was late, I thought you were asleep

  5. Pero el celo me mataba

    But the jealousy was killing me

  6. Y me empecé a preguntar

    And I started to wonder

  7. ¿Quién estará marchitando la flor de su boca?

    Who is wilting the flower of her lips?

  8. ¿Quién estará estrujando su blanca tersura?

    Who is squeezing her white smoothness?

  9. ¿Quién estará siendo dueño de su alma que es loca?

    Who is owning her soul, which is wild?

  10. ¿Quién estará despojándome de su ternura?

    Who is stripping me of her tenderness?

  11. Esa noche fue que supe que la amaba

    That night was when I knew I loved her

  12. Porque el celo me mataba

    Because jealousy was killing me

  13. Y llorando yo me fui

    And crying, I left

  14. Esa noche con mi mente batallando

    That night, battling with my mind

  15. Me fui a mi casa llorando

    I went home crying

  16. Y llorando me dormí

    And crying, I fell asleep

  17. ¿Quién estará marchitando la flor de su boca?

    Who could be wilting the flower of her mouth?

  18. ¿Quién estará estrujando su blanca tersura?

    Who could be squeezing her white smoothness?

  19. ¿Quién estará siendo dueño de su alma que es loca?

    Who could be owning her soul, which is wild?

  20. ¿Quién estará despojándome de su ternura?

    Who could be stripping me of her tenderness?

  21. Esa noche fue que supe que la amaba

    That night I knew I loved her

  22. Porque el celo me mataba

    Because jealousy was killing me

  23. Y llorando yo me fui

    And crying I went away

  24. Esa noche con mi mente batallando

    That night battling with my mind

  25. Me fui a mi casa llorando

    I went home crying

  26. Y llorando me dormí

    And crying I fell asleep

  27. Y llorando me dormí

    And crying I fell asleep

  28. Cosita linda y llorando me dormí

    Sweet thing and crying I fell asleep

  29. Cosita rica y llorando me dormí

    Lovely one and crying I fell asleep

  30. Eh, mamacita y llorando me dormí
