| Tu retratito lo traigo en mi cartera
| I bring your portrait in my portfolio
|
| Donde se guarda el tesoro más querido
| Where the dearest treasure is kept
|
| Y puedo verlo a la hora que yo quiera
| And I can see it any time I want
|
| Aunque tu amor para mi ya esté perdido
| Although your love for me is already lost
|
| No es que te amague solamente te lo advierto
| It's not that I threaten you, I'm just warning you
|
| Que aunque no quieras yo estaré seguir mirando
| That even if you don't want me I'll be watching
|
| Pues tu bien sabes que lo nuestro fué muy cierto
| Well, you know very well that ours was very true
|
| Y tu retrato me lo está justificando
| And your portrait is justifying it to me
|
| Yo te he de ver y te he de ver y te he de ver
| I have to see you and I have to see you and I have to see you
|
| Aunque te escondas y te apartes de mi vista
| Even if you hide and get out of my sight
|
| Y si yo pierdo mi cartera sin querer
| And if I accidentally lose my wallet
|
| De nueva cuenta te mando un retratista
| Again I send you a portraitist
|
| Por la mañana te miro muy temprano
| In the morning I see you very early
|
| Luego te guardo y te miro más al rato
| Then I keep you and I look at you more after a while
|
| Y por la noche te tiento con la mano
| And at night I touch you with my hand
|
| Aunque no sea más que el puro retrato
| Although it is no more than the pure portrait
|
| Por eso mi alma te pido que comprendas
| That's why my soul I ask you to understand
|
| Y sin recelos me den la vida entera
| And without misgivings give me the whole life
|
| Y no hay motivo para que tu te ofendas
| And there is no reason for you to be offended
|
| De todos modos te traigo en mi cartera
| Anyway I bring you in my wallet
|
| Yo te he de ver y te he de ver y te he de ver
| I have to see you and I have to see you and I have to see you
|
| Aunque te escondas y te apartes de mi vista
| Even if you hide and get out of my sight
|
| Y si yo pierdo mi cartera sin querer
| And if I accidentally lose my wallet
|
| De nueva cuenta te mando un retratista | Again I send you a portraitist |
