Un poco más
A little more
Y, a lo mejor, nos comprendemos luego
And maybe, we'll understand each other later
Un poco más
A little more
Que traigo aromas de cariño nuevo
For I bring the scents of new affection
Volvamos al camino del amor
Let's return to the path of love
No importa lo que tenga que olvidar
It doesn't matter what I have to forget
Si vamos a sufrir por un error
If we're going to suffer for a mistake
Es preferible un ruego
It's preferable a plea
Un poco más será un alivio
A little more will be a relief
Para dos fracasos
For two failures
Y, si te vas
And if you leave
Llévate, al menos, mis cansados brazos
Take, at least, my weary arms with you
Al fin que ya te di
In the end, I've already given you
Mi cariño, mi fe y mi vida entera
My love, my faith, and my whole life
Y si no te los llevas
And if you don't take them
¡Qué me importa!, que se queden afuera
What do I care!, let them stay outside
¿Por qué te vas, mi bien, tan de prisa?
Why are you leaving, my dear, so quickly?
No gozas mi agonía
You don’t savor my agony
Si la noche se espera todo el día
If the night is waited for all day
Espera tú también
You wait too
Un poco más será un alivio
A little more will be a relief
Para dos fracasos
For two failures
Y, si te vas
And, if you leave
Llévate, al menos, mis cansados brazos
Take at least my weary arms
Al fin que ya te di
After all, I've already given you
Mi cariño, mi fe y mi vida entera
My affection, my faith, and my whole life
Y si no te los llevas
And if you don't take them
¡Qué me importa!, que se queden afuera
What do I care!, let them stay outside
¿Por qué te vas, mi bien, tan de prisa?
Why are you leaving, my love, so quickly?
No gozas mi agonía
You don't enjoy my agony
Si la noche se espera todo el día
If the night is anticipated all day long
Espera tú también
You wait too
