Un viejo amor [English translation]

For a pair of ardent black eyes

just like the sorrow of a love,

long ago I had desires,

happiness and grievous time.

And on leaving them one day

they were saying to me crying,

don't you ever forget, darling,

what to you I am singing now:

that an old love

you neither forget nor drop.

That an old love,

may go away from our heart

but it never says good-bye.

That an old love...

- - -

A long time has passed by,

and I saw those eyes again,

they looked at me with indifference

coldly and without contempt.

And when I noticed that disdain

from the eyes that cried for me,

I wondered if with the time

they forgot their memories.

That an old love

you neither forget nor drop.

That an old love,

may go away from our heart

but it never says good-bye.

That an old love...

That an old love...
