Translation of the song lyrics Me Equivoque Contigo - José Alfredo Jiménez

Me Equivoque Contigo (original)

Me equivoqu contigo
Me equivoqu a lo macho
Como muy pocas gentes se habrn de equivocar
Te conoc en la iglesia
Y te mire en silencio
Por no turbar tu rezo
Que para mi es sagrado
Por tu carita buena
Por tu mirada clara
Por tantas otras cosas
Hubiera yo jurado
Pero que triste realidad me has ofrecido
Que decepcin tan grande haberte conocido
Quien sabe Dios porque te pus en mi camino
Me equivoqu contigo
Como si no supiera
Que las mas grandes penas
Las debo a mis amores
Me equivoque contigo
Despus de tantos aos
De tantas amarguras
Y tantas decepciones
Pero te hall en la iglesia
Y tu carita buena
Me hizo formar de nuevo
Un mundo de ilusiones
Pero que triste realidad me has ofrecido
Que decepcin tan grande haberte conocido
Quien sabe Dios porque te pus en mi camino

(translation)

I was wrong about you
I was wrong to the male
As very few people will be wrong
I met you at church
And I looked at you in silence
For not disturbing your prayer
that for me is sacred
for your good face
For your clear look
for so many other things
I would have sworn
But what a sad reality you have offered me
What a great disappointment to have met you
Who knows God why you got in my way
I was wrong about you
as if i didn't know
that the greatest sorrows
I owe them to my loves
I was wrong about you
after so many years
of so many bitterness
and so many disappointments
But I found you in the church
and your good face
made me reshape
A world of illusions
But what a sad reality you have offered me
What a great disappointment to have met you
Who knows God why you got in my way
