La otra noche cuando pasé por tu casa
The other night when I passed by your house
Sabiendo yo que allí estabas
Knowing that you were there
Te negaste a contestar
You refused to answer
Ya era tarde, pensé que estabas dormida
It was late, I thought you were asleep
Pero el celo me mataba
But the jealousy was killing me
Y me empecé a preguntar
And I started to wonder
¿Quién estará marchitando la flor de su boca?
Who is wilting the flower of her lips?
¿Quién estará estrujando su blanca tersura?
Who is squeezing her white smoothness?
¿Quién estará siendo dueño de su alma que es loca?
Who is owning her soul, which is wild?
¿Quién estará despojándome de su ternura?
Who is stripping me of her tenderness?
Esa noche fue que supe que la amaba
That night was when I knew I loved her
Porque el celo me mataba
Because jealousy was killing me
Y llorando yo me fui
And crying, I left
Esa noche con mi mente batallando
That night, battling with my mind
Me fui a mi casa llorando
I went home crying
Y llorando me dormí
And crying, I fell asleep
¿Quién estará marchitando la flor de su boca?
Who could be wilting the flower of her mouth?
¿Quién estará estrujando su blanca tersura?
Who could be squeezing her white smoothness?
¿Quién estará siendo dueño de su alma que es loca?
Who could be owning her soul, which is wild?
¿Quién estará despojándome de su ternura?
Who could be stripping me of her tenderness?
Esa noche fue que supe que la amaba
That night I knew I loved her
Porque el celo me mataba
Because jealousy was killing me
Y llorando yo me fui
And crying I went away
Esa noche con mi mente batallando
That night battling with my mind
Me fui a mi casa llorando
I went home crying
Y llorando me dormí
And crying I fell asleep
Y llorando me dormí
And crying I fell asleep
Cosita linda y llorando me dormí
Sweet thing and crying I fell asleep
Cosita rica y llorando me dormí
Lovely one and crying I fell asleep
Eh, mamacita y llorando me dormí
Eh, darling and crying I fell asleep
