Ya se fue, ya se fue
She's gone, she's gone
La mujer que tanto dijo que me quería
The woman who said she loved me so much
Después de todo, su amor era una porfía
After all, her love was just a contest
Y el cariñito se fue
And the affection has faded away
Ya descansé
I've found my peace
Ya se fue, ya se fue
She's gone, she's gone
La mujer que tanto dijo que me quería
The woman who said she loved me so much
Después de todo, su amor era una porfía
After all, her love was just a contest
Y el cariñito se fue
And the affection has faded away
Ya descansé
I've found my peace

Go sing to the moon
Tú eres solo buche y pluma
You are just a mouthful and a feather

Con tu cara de conejo

Me diste lo oscuro
You gave me the darkness
