En una noche de luna
On a moonlit night
Naila lloraba ante mí
Naila cried before me
Ella me hablaba con ternura
She spoke to me with tenderness
Puso en mis labios su dulzura
She placed her sweetness on my lips
Yo le decía por qué lloraba
I asked her why she was crying
Y ella me contestó así
And she answered me like this
"Ya me embriagué con otro hombre
"I've already been drunk with another man
Ya no soy Naila para ti
I'm no longer Naila for you
Ya me embriagué con otro hombre
I've already been drunk with another man
Ya no soy Naila para ti"
I'm no longer Naila for you"
Naila, di por qué me abandonas
Naila, tell me why you abandon me
Tonta, si bien sabes que te quiero
Foolish one, you know well that I love you
Vuelve a mí
Come back to me
Ya no busques otros senderos
Don't look for other paths anymore
Te perdono porque, sin tu amor
I forgive you because, without your love
Se me parte el corazón
My heart breaks
Naila, di por qué me abandonas
Naila, tell me why you abandon me
Tonta, si bien sabes que te quiero
Foolish one, you know well that I love you
Vuelve a mí
Come back to me
Ya no busques otros senderos
Don't look for other paths anymore
Te perdono porque, sin tu amor
I forgive you because, without your love
Se me parte el corazón
My heart falls apart
