| No me dijo ni palabra,
| He didn't say a word to me,
|
| Me clavó su mirada en mi mirada.
| She pinned her gaze on me.
|
| No me dijo ni quien era,
| She didn't even tell me who he was,
|
| Ni de donde venía
| nor where did it come from
|
| Y sólo me amaba.
| And she just loved me.
|
| Ay, el aire salado del puerto,
| Oh, the salty air of the port,
|
| Las gotas de su frente
| The drops from his forehead
|
| Y esa corriente casi quemaba.
| And that current almost burned.
|
| Le besé con los labios que besan las hadas
| I kissed him with lips that kiss fairies
|
| Y le canté,
| And I sang to him,
|
| Y le canté…
| And I sang to him…
|
| Brindo por ti Con vino malagueño de amor.
| Here's to you with Malaga wine of love.
|
| Quiero que bebas de mí

|
| Traguitos de mi vino interior.
| Little sips of my inner wine.
|
| Brindo por ti A medias con la luna y el sol,

|
| Y ojala te lleves de mí

|
| El líquido de mi corazón.

|
| De él no queda casi nada:
| Almost nothing remains of him:
|
| La mitad de un recuerdo y media mirada.
| Half a memory and half a look.
|
| Se marchó por donde vino
| He left the way he came
|
| Y el calor de poniente, ay amor, me lo borraba.
| And the heat of the west, oh love, erased it.
|
| Ay, cómo cantaban mis entrañas,
| Oh, how my insides sang,
|
| Cómo temblaban los cielos
| How the heavens trembled
|
| Cuando su cuerpo y mi cuerpo volaban.
| When his body and my body flew.
|
| Y gocé
| and I enjoyed
|
| Agarrándome bien a su almohada,
| Holding tight to his pillow of him,
|
| Y le canté… y le canté… | And I sang to him… and I sang to him… |
