La Lopez Pereyra [English translation]

I'd want to forget you;

It's impossible,

my love, my love,

Your image follows me:

Yours is my life,

so my love.

And when I'm thinking

all alone,

I rave with the falseness

with which I paid

your love, my love.

If I could have you

by my side all day long,

About my hidden loves,

dove, I'd tell you.

But my wish is useless,

never, never.

I only live to love you,

quiet and sad:

I cry, I cry.

They told me

you don't love me;

But that's not a reason.

You deprive me of your look,

Darling; I can't live without it.

I'm going to hide

in a jungle to cry.

It could be that,

in my exile,

I could forget your black eyes.

One day, in the morning,

I looked to the blue sky.

Gazing at the stars,

I asked the prettiest

if it was the one that shined

on my love;

To ask for her

to the mercyful God, resignation.
