No te asombres si te digo lo que fuiste
Don't be surprised if I tell you what you were
Un ingrato con mi pobre corazón
An ungrateful one with my poor heart
Porque el fuego de tus lindos ojos negros
Because the fire in your lovely black eyes
Alumbraron el camino de otro amor
Illuminated the path of another love
Y pensar que te adoraba tiernamente
And to think I adored you tenderly
Que a tu lado como nunca me sentí
That by your side, I felt like never before
Y por esas cosas raras de la vida
And for those strange things in life
Sin el beso de tu boca yo me vi
Without the kiss of your mouth, I found myself
Amor de mis amores
Love of my loves
Vida mía, qué me hiciste
My life, what have you done to me
Que no puedo consolarme
That I can't console myself
Sin poderte contemplar
Without being able to gaze at you
Ya que pagaste mal
Since you paid unfairly
A mi cariño tan sincero
For my love that's so sincere
Lo que conseguirás
What you'll achieve
Que no te nombre nunca más
Is that I never mention you again
Amor de mis amores
Love of my loves
Si dejaste de quererme
If you've stopped loving me
No hay cuidado que la gente
There's no worry that people
De eso no se enterará
Will find out about that
Qué gano con decir que un gran amor
What do I gain by saying that a great love
Cambio mi suerte
Changed my fate
Se burlarán de mí
They will mock me
Que nadie sepa mi sufrir
Let no one know of my suffering
No te asombres si te digo lo que fuiste
Don't be surprised if I tell you what you were
Un ingrato con mi pobre corazón
Ungrateful one, with my poor heart
Porque el fuego de tus lindos ojos negros
Because the fire of your lovely dark eyes
Alumbraron el camino de otro amor
Illuminated the path to another love
Amor de mis amores
Love of my loves
Si dejaste de quererme
If you stopped loving me
No hay cuidado que la gente
