Lyrics of La Retirada - José Alfredo Jiménez

La Retirada (original)

La distancia entre los dos es cada día más grande
De tu amor y de mi amor no está quedando nada
Sin embargo el corazón no quiere resignarse
A escuchar el triste adiós que sea tu retirada
Cuando te hayas ido ya pedazo de mi vida
Si aguanté la soledad recuérdame un poquito
Porque yo te supe amar derecho y sin mentiras
Y te voy a recordar por Dios que muy bonito
Déjame algo de recuerdo
Una lágrima y un beso
Y un cachito de tu pelo
De mí no te lleves nada
Porque ya lo tienes todo
Yo soy tuyo solo tuyo
La distancia entre los dos es cada día más grande
De tu amor y de mi amor no está quedando nada
Sin embargo el corazón no quiere resignarse
A escuchar el triste adiós que sea tu retirada

(translation)

The distance between the two is getting bigger every day
Nothing is left of your love and my love
However, the heart does not want to resign
To listen to the sad goodbye that is your withdrawal
When you're gone, a piece of my life
If I endured loneliness, remember me a little
Because I knew how to love you straight and without lies
And I'm going to remember you by God, how beautiful
leave me something to remember
A tear and a kiss
And a piece of your hair
Don't take anything from me
Because you already have everything
I am yours only yours
The distance between the two is getting bigger every day
Nothing is left of your love and my love
However, the heart does not want to resign
To listen to the sad goodbye that is your withdrawal
