Las campanas del olvido anuncian
Que te vas por fin
Tu partida obscurece mi cielo
Las campanas del olvido marcan
Hoy un triste final
The bells of forgetfulness announce
You’re finally leaving
Your departure darkens my sky
The bells of forgetfulness mark
Today, a sad ending
Para siempre termina mi anhelo
Corazoncito lindo tu dolor es olvido
Nacido de la duda
Pudo más que el cariño
Forever ends my longing
Sweet little heart, your pain is now forgotten
Born from doubt
It was stronger than the love.
En mis ruegos más fervientes a Dios
Solo por ti pediré
Pa’ que olvides muy pronto mi vida
In my most fervent prayers to God
I will only ask for you
So that you quickly forget about me
Y si alguna vez me pides perdón
En el camino del mal
Mi sendero será el más allá
Corazoncito lindo así vete desnudo
Te ofrendaré mi sangre
A cambio de tu olvido
And if you ever ask me for forgiveness
On the path of wrongdoing
My path will be the afterlife
Sweet little heart, go on bare and exposed
I will offer you my blood
In exchange for your forgetting
