Consuélate como yo
Comfort yourself like I do
Que yo también tuve un amor
For I too had a love
Y lo perdí
And I lost it
Consuélate como yo
Comfort yourself like I do
Que yo también tuve un amor
For I too had a love
Y lo perdí
And I lost it
Y por eso digo ahora
And that's why I say now
Ya yo no vuelvo a querer
I won't love again
Oye me bien
Listen well to me
De que te sirve el amor
What good is love to you
Si a ti también te traicionó
If they betrayed you too
Como a mí
Like they did to me
Por eso ahora
That's why now
Ya yo no vuelo a querer
I won't love again
No quiero nada contigo
I want nothing from you
No, no alejate de mi
No, no, stay away from me
Por eso ahora
That's why now
Ya yo no vuelo a querer
I won't love again
Para mi tu no eres na'
To me, you're nothing
Tu tienes la bemba colora'
You have the red lips
Por eso ahora
That's why now
Ya yo no vuelo a querer
I'm never going to love again
Sigue que yo no quiero nada contigo mujer
Keep going, I don't want anything to do with you, woman
Que te lleve el diablo a ver
May the devil take you, go see
Por eso ahora
That's why now
Ya yo no vuelo a querer
I'm never going to love again
Ahora, ahora yo voy a descansar
Now, now I'm going to rest
Y el piano va a tocar
And the piano is going to play
Consuelate papa por dios
Console yourself, daddy, for God's sake
Consuelate papa por dios
Console yourself, daddy, for God's sake
Consuelate papa por dios
Find solace, father, for God's sake
Consuelate papa por dios
Find solace, father, for God's sake
Consuelate papa por dios
Find solace, father, for God's sake
Consuelate papa por dios
Find solace, father, for God's sake
