[English]

when I die

the flower of your charm

when it surrenders

your pride to life

when you taste

the salt of your tears

only I will go on being yours

when

men no longer look at you

nor does your step

provoke a whisper

when no one

remembers your name

only I will go on being yours, my love

only I

will go on being yours

as you will go on being mine

and I swear to you

that in spite of my pride

not even in death will you leave my life

when the curtain falls

on this farce

our love

will sing with joy

and there will be a sky

of blue carnival troupes

announcing

your joy and mine

[Spanish]

cuando muera

la flor de tu encanto

cuando rinda

la vida tu orgullo

cuando pruebes

la sal de tu llanto

solo yo seguire siendo tuyo

cuando ya

no te miren los hombres

ni tu paso

provoque murmullo

cuando nadie

recuerde tu nombre

solo yo seguire siendo tuyo mi amor

solo yo

seguire siendo tuyo

como tu seguiras siendo mia

y te juro

que apesar de mi orgullo

que ni muerta saldras de mi vida

cuando caiga

el telon de esta farsa

nuestro amor

cantara de alegria

y habra un cielo

de azules comparsas

anunciando

tu dicha y la mia
