Mi guitarra [English translation]

You would let me die so you can hear my cry

And to watch me suffer, you would smile at my song

But you will never understand my guitar

And you would melt down my ring, pour out my wine

Because forgetting about me would be very easy

But you will never understand my guitar

My guitar sang for me

And cried, too, when I was sad

My guitar of splinters, of love,

That some somebody smashed on the sea

You could have power over me and around me

Because to beat me that way is worthless now,

But you will never understand my guitar

Listen to her!

My guitar sang for me

and cried, too, when I was sad

My guitar of splinters, of love,

That some somebody threw its pieces to the sea

You would let me die so you can hear my cry

But you will never understand my guitar

But you will never understand my guitar

But you will never understand my guitar
