Una tarde [English translation]

One cloudy and somber afternoon

as the sun began to set,

she looked up and looked at me,

now that I've found her I don't know what to do.

Little piece of my soul that I adore,

whom from the heavens you have fallen,

how I love you, little darling,

I don't care for riches.

Oh, if I don't have the fortune

of seeing you asleep in my arms,

may the Lord take my life away,

you are my hope and my being.

I'm going now, have a very good night,

my song doesn't want to go on anymore,

I hear the sound of sad voices,

poor thing, she wants to cry.

Little piece of my soul that I adore,

whom from the heavens you have fallen,

how I love you, little darling,

I don't care for riches.

Come to me, I'm waiting for you

with open arms, little darling,

like a wounded bird I fly

to kiss you in your sweet little mouth.
