Translation of the song lyrics Casi Casi - Victor Jara

Casi Casi (original)

Casi casi me quisiste
Casi te he querido yo
No llores negra, no llores, no
Si no es por el casi, casi
Casi me caso con vos
No llores negra, no llores, no
El pañuelo que me diste
Rama en rama se quedó
No llores negra, no llores, no
Vino un fuerte remolino
Rama y todo se llevó
No llores negra, no llores, no
Botellita dibujada
Llenita de agua de olor
No llores negra, no llores, no
El quererte no era nada
El dejarte era un dolor
No llores negra, no llores, no

(translation)

you almost almost loved me
I almost loved you
Don't cry black, don't cry, no
If not for him almost, almost
I almost married you
Don't cry black, don't cry, no
The handkerchief you gave me
Branch on branch stayed
Don't cry black, don't cry, no
came a strong whirlpool
Rama and all took
Don't cry black, don't cry, no
little bottle drawn
Full of scented water
Don't cry black, don't cry, no
Loving you was nothing
Leaving you was a pain
Don't cry black, don't cry, no
