Despedida
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
Una triste sonrisa
Tu labio dibujó
Una indiscreta lágrima
De mis ojos cayó
Tu mano entre la mía
Enlazadas las dos
Detener pretendía
Nuestra separación
Y sin decirnos nada
Nos dijimos 
Adiós!

Hoy en mi cruel soledad fatal
Viene tu imagen a mí
Sensual
Tengo delirio por verte
Siento temor de perderte
Vuelve otra vez a mi lado
No te alejes de mí
Di que no has olvidado
El amor que te di.

Farewell
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
A sad smile
Your lip drew,
An indiscreet tear
Fell from my eyes;
Your hand [in] mine,
The two of them interlaced,
They hoped to stop
Our separation,
And without saying anything to each other,
We said
Goodbye!

[Now] in my loneliness, cruel and fatal,
Your image comes to me,
Sensual;
I am delirious to see you,
I am afraid to lose you;
Come once again to my side,
Do not go away from me,
Say that you have not forgotten
The love that I gave you.
