Y yo que estaba de vuelta
And I who was back
De todas las idas con el alma herida, te quiero, ya ves
From all the departures with a wounded soul, I love you, you see
Seré lo que tú prefieras
I'll be whatever you prefer
Tu luz o tu sombra
Your light or your shadow
O acaso una alfombra
Or maybe a carpet
Besando tus pies
Kissing your feet
¡Ay, de ti!, ¡ay, de mí!
Oh, of you!, oh, of me!
Ni tú ni yo somos culpables
Neither you nor I are to blame
Infelices locos que caímos
Unhappy fools who fell
En este amor
Into this love
Que es un error
That it’s a mistake
Imperdonable
Unforgivable
¡Ay, de ti!
Oh, you!
¡Ay, de mí!
Oh, me!
Y tú, que siempre decías
And you, who always said
Ser inteligente, no como esa gente que muere de amor
To be smart, not like those people who die of love
Así sabrás que la rosa
This way you'll know that the rose
Es rosa por bella
Is rose for its beauty
Y no porque en ella
And not because within it
Respire una flor
A flower breathes
¡Ay, de ti!, ¡ay, de mí!
Oh, you!, oh, me!
Ni tú ni yo somos culpables
Neither you nor I are to blame
Infelices locos que caímos
Unhappy fools that we fell
En este amor
Into this love
Que es un error
That is a mistake
Imperdonable
Unforgivable
¡Ay, de ti!
Oh, you!
¡Ay, de mí!
Oh, me!
La vida es la consentida
Life is the spoiled one
Feroz dictadura de una criatura que juega a mandar
A fierce dictatorship of a creature that plays to command
Ni tú ni yo somos nadie
Neither you nor I are anyone
Ni hacemos historia
Neither do we make history
Pues somos la escoria
For we are the scum
Que aún puede quemar
That can still burn
¡Ay, de ti!, ¡ay, de mí!
Oh, from you! Oh, from me!
Ni tú ni yo somos culpables
Neither you nor I are to blame
Infelices locos que caímos
Unhappy fools who fell
En este amor
Into this love
Que es un error
That is a mistake
Imperdonable
Unforgivable
¡Ay, de ti!
Oh, of you!
¡Ay, de mí!
Oh, of me!
