Lyrics

Español

Volveremos a vernos algún día Ya no puedo quererte... me dijiste… El dejo de tu voz era tan triste Y yo tan triste estaba... que callé. Me detuve a mirarte... parecía Reflejada la muerte en tu mirada, Y en vez de preguntar... no dije nada Y así, sin decir nada... me alejé. Ya ves hermano, que todo En este mundo se olvida, Es ley fatal de la vida... Me decía el corazón. Después, al sentirme solo Y al saber que te quería, Comprobé de que aquél día ¡El corazón me engañó! Han pasado seis meses, vida mía Cuánto, cuánto he llorado, si supieras, Por qué razón dejé que me dijeras Aquellas tus palabras... y callé... Volveremos a vernos algún día Ya no puedo quererte... ¡Dios!... qué horrible Pensar de que tu amor es imposible Y nunca... nunca, amor, te olvidaré.

English · machine translation

We'll see each other again someday I can't love you anymore... you said to me... The lilt in your voice was so sad And I was so sad... that I kept silent. I paused to look at you... it seemed Reflected death in your gaze, And instead of asking... I said nothing... And so, without saying anything... I walked away. You see brother, that everything In this world is forgotten, It is a fatal law of life... My heart was telling me. Later, when I felt alone And knowing that I loved you, I realized that on that day The heart deceived me! It's been six months, my life How much, how much I've cried, if you knew, For what reason I let you tell me Those your words... and I kept silent... We'll meet again someday I can no longer love you... God!... how horrible To think that your love is impossible And I will never... never, love, forget you.
