Soñé que te engañaba
I dreamed that I was cheating on you
Con una paloma blanca...
With a white dove...
Me desperté cantando
I woke up singing
Y vi que tú ya no estabas
And I saw that you were no longer there
Por tu amor que tanto quiero y tanto extraño
For your love that I cherish and miss so much
Que me sirvan otra copa y muchas más
Pour me another drink and many more
Que me sirvan de una vez pa' todo el año
Pour me enough to last all year
Que me pienso seriamente emborrachar...
Because I'm seriously thinking of getting drunk...
Si te cuentan que me vieron muy borracha
If they tell you they saw me very drunk
Orgullosamente diles que es por ti
Proudly tell them it's because of you
Porque yo tendré el valor de no negarlo
For I will have the courage not to deny it
Gritaré que por tu amor me estoy matando
I will scream that for your love I am dying
Y sabrán que por tus besos me perdí...
And they will know that I lost myself for your kisses...
Para de hoy en adelante ya el amor no me interesa
From now on, love no longer interests me
Cantaré por todo el mundo mi dolor y mi tristeza
I will sing my pain and my sadness to the whole world
Porque sé que de este golpe ya no voy a levantarme
Because I know that from this blow I will not get up again
Y aunque yo no lo quisiera, voy a morirme de amor...
And even if I didn't want to, I will die of love...
Para de hoy en adelante ya el amor no me interesa
From now on, love no longer interests me
Cantaré por todo el mundo mi dolor y mi tristeza
I will sing my pain and my sadness to the whole world
Porque sé que de este golpe ya no voy a levantarme
Because I know that from this blow I will not get up again
Y aunque yo no lo quisiera, voy a morirme de amor...
And even if I didn't want to, I'm going to die of love...
