| No sé que día será, está nublado y no para de llover…
| I don't know what day it will be, it's cloudy and it doesn't stop raining...
|
| Mi vieja guitarra y yo, con ella suelo hablar de amor
| My old guitar and I, with it I usually talk about love
|
| Aquí sentado en un cartón mojado
| Sitting here on a wet cardboard
|
| Mientras pienso en aquella mujer
| While I think of that woman
|
| Que pasa cerca de mí y no me ve, como cada mañana
| That she passes near me and doesn't see me, like every morning
|
| Me pregunto, ¿a dónde irá, quién es? | I wonder, where will she go, who is she? |
| No sé su nombre pero sé
| I don't know her name but I know
|
| Que por su amor daría lo que fuera
| That for his love of her he would give anything
|
| Y aunque no tengo riquezas
| And though I have no riches
|
| Que daría yo por que me quisiera
| What would I give for him to love me
|
| Y aquí estoy, pidiéndole a Dios, me oculte su belleza
| And here I am, asking God to hide her beauty from me
|
| No debí fijarme en ella
| I shouldn't have noticed her
|
| Si un mendigo soy, olvidé quién era…
| If I am a beggar, I forgot who she was...
|
| Llega la noche otra vez, me quedo con su silencio y la soledad
| Night comes again, I stay with her silence and loneliness
|
| Es la que me acompaña. | She is the one with me. |
| Siento tantas ganas de llorar…
| I feel like crying so much...
|
| Quiero dormir y así soñar con ella
| I want to sleep and so dream of her
|
| Porque sólo en mis sueños podré
| Because only in my dreams can I
|
| Tenerla cerca de mí, sentir su piel hasta el amanecer…
| Having her close to me, feeling her skin until dawn...
|
| Ya sé que al despertar se irá. | I already know that when I wake up she will leave. |
| No sé su nombre pero sé
| I don't know her name but I know
|
| (Estribillo)
| (Chorus)
|
| Yo por su amor…
| I for his love of her...
|
| …Si un mendigo soy y ella una princesa | …If I am a beggar and she a princess |
