| Mira como ando mi amor por tu querer | See how I wander, my love, in the wake of your longing, |
| Borracha y apasionada | Intoxicated—my veins burning with fevered devotion, |
| Nomás por tu amor | All for the sake of your love, and nothing more, |
| Mira como ando | Behold in what state I drift— |
| Mi bien, muy dada | Beloved, I am given wholly, |
| A la borrachera y a la perdicion | To the dark revel and the whirlpool of ruin, |
| Tú, sólo tú | You—yes, you alone— |
| Has llenado de luto mi vida | Have draped my days in mourning’s heavy veil, |
| Abriendo una herida en mi corazón | Cut open a gash in the flesh of my heart, |
| Tú, tú, sólo tú | You, you, only you— |
| Eres causa de todo mi llanto | You are the fountainhead from which all my weeping flows, |
| De mi desencanto y desesperación | The architect of my desolation and despair, |
| Mira como ando | See how I stagger, |
| Mi bien por tu querer | My soul, undone by your desire, |
| Sólo tu sombra fatal | Only your fatal shadow— |
| Sombra del mal | Shadow steeped in malice— |
| Me sigue por dondequiera con obstinación | Pursues me everywhere, dogged as a winter wind, |
| Y por quererte olvidar | And for longing to forget you, |
| Me tiro | I cast myself— |
| A la borrachera y a la perdición | Into the maelstrom of drink and damnation |
