A una señora [English translation]

When life would want

Us to meet again

Within a few days

Or after many years

I give you my word

That I am not going to bother you

If you have companions

Nor even greet you

When life would want

Us to face each other again

In front of the indiscreet

Eyes of people

I love you so much, so much

That for that reason I promise you

That from my mouth no one

Will know our secret

And if you see me pass by

And don’t speak to me

Sleep peacefully

I will not say a word

What things I can say

If you don't know me

First and foremost

You are a lady

There were many women

That gladdened my way

At that time I mocked

What they call destiny

There were many loves

And for no one did I suffer anything

Today they see me suffering

For love of a married woman

It remains a secret

That one night you loved me

When you were absent from your house

Creating a compromising situation

And you were mine

When the dawn arrived

It was then that you said

Please don’t say anything

And if you see me…
