| Inconsolable (original) | Inconsolable (translation) |
|---|---|
| Lo mucho que yo sufrí | How much I suffered |
| Por esa ingrata mujer | for that ungrateful woman |
| Ella no lo ha de saber | She doesn't have to know |
| Mejor prefiero morir | I'd rather die |
| Bien sé que se ha de burlar | I know that she has to mock |
| De mi cariño profundo | of my deep love |
| Porqué saben en el mundo | Why do they know in the world |
| A nadie podré yo amar | I will be able to love no one |
| Ah, yo no sé por qué la quiero | Ah, I don't know why I love her |
| Ah, yo no sé por qué será | Ah, I don't know why she will be |
| Tanto sufrir, tanto llorar | So much suffering, so much crying |
| Me fui a la orilla del mar | I went to the seashore |
| Y las olas me decían: | And the waves told me: |
| Que tú ya no me querías | That you no longer loved me |
| Que dejara de llorar | stop crying |
| Que de todo mi querer | that of all my love |
| Tú ya te habías olvidado | you had already forgotten |
| Que ya tú te habías marchado | That you had already left |
| Para nunca más volver | never to return |
| Ah, yo no sé por qué la quiero | Ah, I don't know why I love her |
| Ah, yo no sé por qué será | Ah, I don't know why |
| Tanto sufrir, tanto llorar | So much suffering, so much crying |
