Que aqui no hay remedio de lo
que siento yo de lo que siento yo.
[I don't know how to tell
you, I don't know how to explain to you
That here there is no remedy
for what I feel inside, for what I feel inside.]
La luna me dice una cosa, las
estrellas me dicen otra
Y la luz del dia me canta esta
triste cancion; esta triste cancion.
[The moon is telling me one
thing, while the stars are telling me another.
But the morning light is
singing to me this sad, sad song.
This sad, sad song.]

Y aqui siempre paso la vida
con la pistola y el Coraz—n.
[The kisses that you gave
me, my love, are the ones that are killing me.
But my tears are now drying
with my pistol & my heart.
And here, as wlways, I spend
my life with the pistol & the heart.]
No sŽ como amarte, no sŽ como
abrasarte.
Porque no se me deja este
dolor que tengo yo, el dolor que tengo yo.
[I don't know how to love
you, I don't even know how to embrace you.
Because what never leaves me
is this pain that hurts me so, the pain that hurts me so.]
Esta noche tan oscura con sus
sombras tan tranquilos
Y el viento me sige cantando
esta humilde canci—n, este humilde canci—n.
[This night so dark with its
tranquil shadows
And a wind that again sings
to me this humble song, this humble song.]
