Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ella by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
No hay penas que sufra el hombre
There are no sorrows that a man suffers
Que no sean por una ingrata
That are not caused by an ungrateful woman
Por ella el hombre es muy hombre
Because of her, a man becomes a real man
O se hunde en la vil desgracia
Or sinks into vile misfortune
Porque se tira a los vicios
Because he indulges in vices
Y a veces hasta se mata
And sometimes even kills himself
Por ellas, por una de ellas
Because of them, because of one of them
Miren nomás como vivo
Just look at how I live
Primero me dio sus besos
First she gave me her kisses
Y hoy solo me da su olvido
And now she only gives me her forgetfulness
Ando que me lleva el diablo
I'm being led by the devil
Por rumbos desconocidos
To unknown paths
Y la quiero y la quiero olvidar
And I love her and I want to forget her
Pero más se me mete en el alma
But she keeps getting into my soul even more
Hasta en sueños la vuelvo a besar
I even kiss her in my dreams
Ya no puedo vivir sin mirarla
I can no longer live without looking at her
En mi pecho a clavado un puñal
A dagger is stuck in my chest
Y eso hará que no pueda olvidarla
And that will make me unable to forget her
Y la quiero y la quiero olvidar
I love her and I want to forget her
Pero más se me mete en el alma
But she keeps getting into my soul even more
Hasta en sueños la vuelvo a besar
I even kiss her in my dreams
Ya no puedo vivir sin mirarla
I can no longer live without looking at her
En mi pecho a clavado un puñal
A dagger is stuck in my chest
Y eso hará que no pueda olvidarla
And that will make me unable to forget her
