Y sin embargo te quiero [English translation]

They told me a thousand times,

but I never wanted to listen to it.

When the copious weeping came

you already were deep down into my heart.

I waited for you until late hours,

no reproche I made to you;

the most I would ever ask you

was if you really loved me.

And under your kisses

at the break of dawn,

without your noticing the cross of my anguish

I used to sing so:

I love you more than I love my eyes,

I love you more than I love my life,

more than the air I breath

and more than I love that mother of mine.

Let my pulse stop beating if I stop loving you,

let the bells stop tolling if I ever neglect you.

You are my life and my death,

I swear it to you, I don't lie;

I shouldn't love you,

I shouldn't love you

and, in spite of all, I do. 1.

You live with all sort of girls

and don't care about my loneliness;

you know that you have a son

and you won't even give him your name.

Crying next to his craddle

I see the dawn breaking through.

My child doesn't have a father...

What a grief this luck of mine!

Come on my king of Spain, 2.

it's time to go to sleep,

and without realizing it, instead of a lullaby

I sing to him like this:

I love you more than I love my eyes,

I love you more than I love my life,

more than the air I breath

and more than I love that mother of mine.

Let my pulse stop beating if I stop loving you,

let the bells stop tolling if I ever neglect you.

You are my life and my death,

I swear it to you, and I don't lie;

I shouldn't love you,

I shouldn't love you

and, in spite of all, I do.
