Jota

Our translations: ENG ENG FRE GER
Dicen que no nos queremos
Porque no nos ven hablar;
A tu corazón y al mío
Se lo pueden preguntar.
Ya me despido de tí,
De tu casa y tu ventana,
Y aunque no quiera tu madre,
Adiós, niña, hasta mañana.
Aunque no quiera tu madre...

Jota
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
They say we don't love each other
because they never see us talking
But they only have to ask
both your heart and mine.
Now I bid you farewell
your house and your window too
and even ... your mother
Farewell, my sweetheart
until tomorrow.
