Hay veces que tira un besito al aire
Sometimes she throws a little kiss into the air
Y espera que caiga en la boca que quiere y en la de más nadie
And waits for it to fall on the mouth she wants and no one else's
Hay veces que pierdo toda la esperanza
Sometimes I lose all hope
Se tiñe de negro mi cielo y tu falda
My sky and your skirt turn black
Hay veces qeu pienso todo esta perdido
Sometimes I think everything is lost
Y otras veces pienso todo lo que te quise de algo habrá valio´
And other times I think all that I loved you must have been worth something
Los segundos pasan y el tiempo ha dejado pa´ ti la alegria y a mi en el pasado
The seconds pass and time has left joy for you and me in the past
Si el tiempo que gasto al día al mirarte
If the time I spend daily looking at you
Lo hubiera invertio´ ay! en acariciarte
I had invested it, oh! in caressing you
Quizá otro gallo hoy me cantaría
Perhaps things would be different for me today
Quizá la tristeza mi vida sería alegría
Perhaps sadness, my life, would be joy
Sabes, contigo sólo soy feliz
You know, with you I'm only happy
Sabes, tu me enseñaste a sonreir
You know, you taught me to smile
Sabes, que me ha costao´ recoger
You know, it has cost me to pick up
Los cachos de este corazón
The pieces of this heart
Helado por tu piel
Frozen by your skin
Hay veces que pienso, ya llegó el momento
Sometimes I think, the moment has arrived
De torcer el brazo y dejar que se vaya libre como el viento
To give up and let her go free as the wind
Las cosas más bellas que tiene tu cuerpo
The most beautiful things your body has
Te juro mi vida, que son tu defecto
I swear to you, my life, that they are your flaw
Hay veces que pienso, contarte este infierno
Sometimes I think, to tell you about this hell
Pero cuando quieres a alguien estas cosas nunca se comparten
But when you love someone these things are never shared
Que hable la vida que ella nunca miente
Let life speak for it never lies
Si yo doy la mia solo por tenerte
If I give mine just to have you
Si el tiempo que gasto al día al mirarte
If the time I spend daily looking at you
Lo hubiera invertido ay! en acariciarte
I had invested it, oh! in caressing you
Quizá otro gallo hoy me cantaría
Perhaps things would be different for me today
Quizá la tristeza mi vida, sería alegría
Perhaps sadness, my life, would be joy
Sabes, contigo sólo soy feliz
You know, with you I'm only happy
Sabes tu me enseñaste a sonreir
You know, you taught me to smile
Sabes, que me ha costado recoger
You know, it has cost me to pick up
Los cachos de este corazón
The pieces of this heart
Helado por tu piel
Frozen by your skin
