Lyrics

Español

Yo no quise que sufrieras mi fracaso, por eso te dejé, llevando tu recuerdo de mi brazo por todos los caminos que rodé. No me deja olvidar, ni me dejó volver, ya ves, es más difícil que te quiera, igual que ayer. No quiero que te duela mi pobreza, ni empañe tu alegría mi tristeza. Sólo quiero agradecerle al carnaval, por traerte esta noche hasta mi mesa. Sonríe, como yo, vamos mi alma, volvamos a vivir el viejo ayer. Qué importa lo que sientan nuestras almas, al alba quién la ve. Sonríe, como yo, vamos princesa, volvamos a vivir el viejo ayer. Qué importa lo que sientan nuestras almas, al alma quién la ve.

English · machine translation

I didn't want you to suffer my failure, so I left you, carrying your memory on my arm on all the roads I traveled. It won't let me forget, nor let me return, you see, it's harder for me to love you, just like yesterday. I don't want my poverty to hurt you, nor my sadness tarnish your joy. I just want to thank the carnival for bringing you to my table tonight. Smile, like me, come on my soul, let's live again the old yesterday. What does it matter what our souls feel, at dawn who sees it. Smile, like me, come on princess, let's relive the old yesterday. What does it matter what our souls feel, to the soul who sees it.
