Cuando ya no me quieras [English translation]

When you may no longer care for me

Don’t feign love for me

Don’t have pity for me

Compassion, nor misgivings.

If you forgot all about me

I don’t blame you nor fight back

Nor will I give you the disgust

Of watching my suffering.

I will start off humming

My saddest poem

I will sing to the whole world

What you liked me to sing

And when no one listens to

My songs now old, oh!

I will end my path in a town

Far away and there I will die.

I know that you no longer love me.

Your eyes have told me,

I will leave by the route

That has no end

I will pay always, always

I will leave without anger

And my lips without kisses

Will sing a madrigal

I will start off humming

My saddest poem

I will sing to the whole world

What you liked me to sing

And when no one listens to

My songs now old, oh!

I will end my path in a town

Far away and there I will die
