[English]

Today I found myself remembering her again

How much I loved that woman

I remembered her goodbye and the sad day she left

She walked away in silence

She wouldn't talk to me

She didn't love me anymore, and I suffered from loving so much

You know how much I loved her

You know how much I loved her

Weep, heart, softly, or the whole town will know

You know how much I loved her

You know how much I loved her

Weep, heart, softly, or the whole town will know

I leave the door open in case she wants to come back one night

...

Today I walked through the places

That I used to walk with her

And the memories of her affection, of her love came back

I haven't been able to forget her

I don't know how to forget her

And if she's no longer with me, it's not my fault, she left

You know how much I loved her

You know how much I loved her

Weep, heart, softly, or the whole town will know

You know how much I loved her

You know how much I loved her

Weep, heart, softly, or the whole town will know

I leave the door open in case she wants to come back one night

You know how much I loved her

You know how much I loved her

Weep, heart, softly, or the whole town will know

You know how much I loved her

You know how much I loved her

Weep, heart, softly, or the whole town will know

I leave the door open in case she wants to come back one night

You know how much I loved her

You know how much I loved her

...

[Spanish]

Hoy he vuelto a recordarla

Cuánto quise a esa mujer

Recordé su despedida y el triste día cuando se fue

Ella se alejó en silencio

Ella no me quiso hablar

Ella ya no me quería y yo sufría de tanto amar

Tú sabes cuánto la quise

Tú sabes cuánto la amé

Llora, corazón, bajito, o todo el pueblo lo va a saber

Tú sabes cuánto la quise

Tú sabes cuánto la amé

Llora, corazón, bajito, o todo el pueblo lo va a saber

Que dejo la puerta abierta por si una noche quiere volver

Hoy pasé por los lugares

Que con ella caminé

Y volvieron los recuerdos de su cariño, de su querer

Olvidarla no he podido

Olvidarla yo no sé

Y si ya no está conmigo, no es culpa mía, ella se fue

Tú sabes cuánto la quise

Tú sabes cuánto la amé

Llora, corazón, bajito, o todo el pueblo lo va a saber

Tú sabes cuánto la quise

Tú sabes cuánto la amé

Llora, corazón, bajito, o todo el pueblo lo va a saber

Que dejo la puerta abierta por si una noche quiere volver

Tú sabes cuánto la quise

Tú sabes cuánto la amé

Llora, corazón, bajito, o todo el pueblo lo va a saber

Tú sabes cuánto la quise

Tú sabes cuánto la amé

Llora, corazón, bajito, o todo el pueblo lo va a saber

Que dejo la puerta abierta por si una noche quiere volver

Tú sabes cuánto la quise

Tú sabes cuánto la amé
