Sé que por un tiempo

Me alejé de ti

Y rompí la promesa

Para no ser infeliz

Y ahora estoy aquí, llorando

And now I'm here, crying

Por haberlo amado tanto

Ve y búscalo en donde lo encuentres

Go and find him wherever you can

Y arrebátalo de entre la gente

And take him away from the crowd

Llévatelo de la mano

Take him by the hand

Y enciérrense en su cuarto, y

And lock yourselves in his room, and

Súbelo, bájalo, ámalo

Lift him up, bring him down, love him

Y, si él quiere, despedázalo

And, if he wants, tear him apart

Y hazlo que sienta esto

And make him feel this

Que me tiene a mí, aquí, sin aliento

That has me here, breathless

Sola, tan sola, tan sola, tan

Alone, so alone, so alone, so

Hazme un favor, yo te lo ruego

Do me a favor, I beg you

Haz que él sienta lo que siento

Sola, tan sola, tan sola, tan

Alone, so alone, so alone, so

Hazme un favor, yo te lo imploro

Y que él sepa que lo adoro

Me dices al oído

No me das ningún consuelo

Pero hablas con la verdad, ¡si!

But you speak the truth, yes!

Ámalo como a ninguno

Que no quiera saber más del mundo

Who doesn't want to know more of the world

Que no reconozca familia

Que no conciba sin ti la vida

Que, por un beso, él aguante desprecios

That, for a kiss, he endures disdain

Y que sueñe envuelto en desvelos

And dreams wrapped in sleeplessness

Que sean su alegría tus migajas

De rodillas, llorando, dé gracias

On his knees, crying, give thanks

Y entonces

And then

Solo entonces

Que sepa

Que lo sepa
