Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Una Carta by Los Terricolas from Spanish to English.
¿Qué me dirá?
What will it tell me?
'Recordado amor
'Remembered love
Pensando mil cosas quizás
Thinking a thousand things maybe
Distante de mis amigos
Far from my friends
Con el humo por testigo
With the smoke as a witness
Esta carta empecé a redactar'
I started writing this letter'
Querida mía, perdona
My dear, forgive me
Si te ofendo al escribirte
If I offend you by writing to you
Pero me siento muy triste
But I feel very sad
Por lo que anoche pasó
For what happened last night
Mas no estoy arrepentido
But I'm not sorry
Y si acaso tú lo estás
And if you are
Ya no debes llorar más
You shouldn't cry anymore
Tienes que tener valor
You have to be brave
Pues si Dios te manda un hijo
Because if God sends you a child
Por lo más grande te exijo
I demand the greatest thing from you
Que no le pongas mi nombre
Don't give them my name
Para que no sea como yo
So they won't be like me
Que nunca pruebe licor
That they never taste alcohol
Que nunca sufra una pena
That they never suffer a pain
Y que nunca se enamore
And that they never fall in love
De las mujeres ajenas
With other women
Que nunca sienta rencor
That they never feel resentment
Que a mí me corre en las venas
That runs through my veins
Porque es triste soportar
Because it's sad to endure
Esta terrible condena
This terrible sentence
Y que nunca se enamore
And that they never fall in love
De las mujeres ajenas
With other women
Que nunca sienta rencor
That they never feel resentment
Que a mí me corre en las venas
That runs through my veins
Porque es triste soportar
Because it's sad to endure
Esta terrible condena
This terrible sentence
