Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Mujer Que Tanto Ame by Los Ángeles Negros from Spanish to English.
Todo fue un cuento de mil una noches
Everything was a tale of a thousand and one nights
Solo un poema de amor y ternura
Just a poem of love and tenderness
Nos envidiaba hasta el mar que jugaba
Even the playful sea envied us
A esconderse allá en las dunas
Hiding away there in the dunes
Tanto vagar por las noches de luna
So much wandering on moonlit nights
Era un andar por arenas doradas
It was a walk on golden sands
Eran dos almas de amor entregadas
They were two souls surrendered to love
Que de quererse jamás
Who never tired
Se cansaban
Of loving one another
Tuvo en la arena su lecho de espuma
It had its bed of foam on the sand
Que hizo por techo un cielo estrellado
With a starry sky as its roof
Y aun que fue mía una noche en verano
And though she was mine one summer night
Ya rendida me engañaba
Already surrendered, she was cheating on me
Todo fue engaño y falsas promesas
It was all deceit and false promises
Solo mentiras que lindas mentiras
Just lies, such beautiful lies
Era su cuerpo cual fruta de mayo
Her body was like a May fruit
Que en otros brazos también maduraba
That also ripened in other arms
Donde estás ahora
Where are you now
Mujer que tanto amé
Woman I loved so much
Tu risa mañanera
Your morning laughter
Sigue despertándome
Still wakes me up
Si al volver dijeras
If you came back and said
Olvido no logré
I couldn't forget
Mi razón diría
My reason would say
Mientes, mientes
You lie, you lie
