Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

No has de sufrir

You shouldn't have to suffer

Si escuchas de mis quince años el cantar

If you hear my singing from when I was fifteen

...

...

Y ausente estés de las cosas que

And you're absent from the things that

Mi adolescencia fue a soñar

My adolescence was dreaming about

...

...

Capricho fue que sin querer

It was a whim that, without meaning to

Ya preparaba este amor

I was already preparing this love

Por eso así, yo te lo cuento

That's why, I tell you this

Y te lo canto a media voz

And I sing it softly

Por eso así, yo te lo cuento

That's why, I tell you this

Y te lo canto a media voz

And I sing it softly

Y mis manos en tu cintura

And my hands on your waist

Pero mírame con dulzor

But look at me with tenderness

Porque tendrás la aventura

Because you'll have the adventure

De ser tú mi mejor canción

Of being my best song

En chicas que yo conocí

In girls I met before

Ya un algo tuyo, yo busqué

I already looked for something of yours

Y cuando al fin yo te hallé

And when I finally found you

En tu besar ya pude comprender

In your kiss I could understand

Que eras tú la fábula

That you were the fairy tale

Que iluminaba mi soñar

That lit up my dreaming

Mas este amor es una pena

But this love is a sorrow

Que siendo hermoso tenga un final

That, though beautiful, must have an end

Mas este amor es una pena

But this love is a sorrow

Que siendo hermoso tenga un final

That, though beautiful, must have an end

Y mis manos en tu cintura

And my hands on your waist

Pero mírame con dulzor

But look at me with tenderness

Porque tendrás la aventura

Because you'll have the adventure

De ser tú mi mejor canción

Of being my best song

Y mis manos en tu cintura

And my hands on your waist

Pero mírame con dulzor

But look at me with tenderness

Porque tendrás la aventura

Because you'll have the adventure

De ser tú mi mejor canción

Of being my best song

Lai-la-lara-lara-la-lara-la

Lai-la-lara-lara-la-lara-la

Lai-la-lara-lara-la-lara-la

Lai-la-lara-lara-la-lara-la

Lai-la-lara-lara-la-lara-la

Lai-la-lara-lara-la-lara-la
