Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canta Lo Sentimental by Omara Portuondo from Spanish to English.
Esta tristeza se niega al olvido
This sadness refuses to be forgotten
Como la penumbra a la luz
Like the shadow to the light
Quiera el destino que puedas volver
May destiny want that you can return
Un día para recordar
One day to remember
Sentimental mi ventana se vuelve
Sentimental my window becomes
Las cosas parecen pensar
Things seem to think
Llueve en la calle y dentro de mí
It rains on the street and inside of me
Canta lo sentimental
Sings the sentimental
Todos los dias me duelen
Every day they hurt me
La tristeza que me da
The sadness that it gives me
Y se me cae del recuerdo
And it falls from the memory
Unido de soledad
United with loneliness
Mi paloma se pierde
My dove gets lost
Como un pañuelito de luz
Like a little handkerchief of light
Baila la lluvia y dentro de mi
The rain dances and inside of me
Canta lo sentimental
Sings the sentimental
Todos los dias me duelen
Every day they hurt me
La tristeza que me da
The sadness that it gives me
Y se me cae del recuerdo
And it falls from the memory
Unido de soledad
United with loneliness
Mi paloma se pierde
My dove gets lost
Como un pañuelito de luz
Like a little handkerchief of light
Baila la lluvia y dentro de mi
The rain dances and inside of me
Canta lo sentimental
Sings the sentimental
Canta lo sentimental
Sings the sentimental
