Cancionero [English translation]

I’m a modest songwriter

and I want to sing you a human story,

since I know he loves you:

the author of this plea

If you see her, songwriter, tell her I am happy

She led me, many times, to request you a song, to toast for her happiness

If you see her, songwriter, tell her clearly in your song

that her enchantment arises in my eyes as a brand-new Spring, every day

Don’t tell her that you found me very sad and very tired

Don’t tell her that without her I feel devastated

If you see her, songwriter, quickly come to my place

And if you lie me, try to cheer up my heart;

tell me again that she loves me, still

Don’t tell her that you found me very sad and very tired

Don’t tell her that without her I feel devastated

If you see her, songwriter, quickly come to my place

And if you lie me, try to cheer up my heart;

tell me again that she loves me, nonetheless
