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 won't be forgotten
Como la penumbra a la luz
Like dusk to light
Quiera el destino que puedas volver
Hope fate lets you come back
Un día para recordar
A day to remember
Sentimental mi ventana se vuelve
My window turns sentimental
Las cosas parecen pensar
Things seem to think
Llueve en la calle y dentro de mí
It's raining in the street and inside me
Canta lo sentimental
My sentimental side sings
Todos los dias me duelen
Every day hurts
La tristeza que me da
The sadness it brings me
Y se me cae del recuerdo
And it slips out of memory
Unido de soledad
Tied to loneliness
Mi paloma se pierde
My dove drifts away
Como un pañuelito de luz
Like a tiny handkerchief of light
Baila la lluvia y dentro de mi
Rain dances, and inside me
Canta lo sentimental
My sentimental side sings
Todos los dias me duelen
Every day hurts
La tristeza que me da
The sadness it brings me
Y se me cae del recuerdo
And it slips out of memory
Unido de soledad
Tied to loneliness
Mi paloma se pierde
My dove drifts away
Como un pañuelito de luz
Like a tiny handkerchief of light
Baila la lluvia y dentro de mi
Rain dances, and inside me
Canta lo sentimental
My sentimental side sings
Canta lo sentimental
My sentimental side sings
