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.

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.
