No lloréis, ojuelos, porque no es razón que llore de celos quien mata de amor. Quien puede matar no intente morir, si hace con reír más que con llorar. No lloréis ojuelos, porque no es razón que llore de celos quien mata de amor.

Don't cry, little eyes, Because it isn't right That, crying from jealousy, You kill with love. One who can kill Shouldn't try to die, If one can do more with laughter Instead of crying. Don't cry, little eyes, Because it isn't right That, crying from jealousy, You kill with love!
