Singer: Vicente Fernández
Tan lejos de ti, me voy a morir
Tan lejos de ti, no voy a vivir
Entre a esta taberna
Tan llenas de cosas, queriendo olvidar
Pero ni las copas, señor tabernero me hacen olvidar
Far from you, I can’t survive
Far from you, I can’t survive
I entered this bar
So full of things, trying to forget
But even the drinks, bartender, don’t make me forget
Me salgo a la calle, buscando un consuelo
Buscando un amor
Pero es imposible
Mi fe es hoja seca que mato el dolor
No quiero buscarte ni espero que lo hagas
Pues ya para que
I go out to the street, searching for comfort
Searching for love
But it’s impossible
My faith is a dry leaf that killed the pain
I don’t want to find you, nor do I hope you’ll find me
Nothing matters anymore
Se acabo el romance, mataste una vida
Se acabo un amor
Si acaso mis ojos, llenos de tristeza
Pudieran llorar
Pero es que en mi vida, yo nunca he llorado
Por ningún querer
The romance is over, you killed a life
A love is over
If only my eyes were full of sadness
Could cry
But in my life, I’ve never cried
Over any love
Ya que es imposible
Dejar de quererte
Señor tabernero
Sírvame otra copa que quiero olvidar
Since it’s impossible
To stop loving you
Bartender
Pour me another drink, I want to forget
Si acaso mis ojos, llenos de tristeza
Pudieran llorar
Pero es que en mi vida, yo nunca he llorado
Por ningún querer
If only my eyes were full of sadness
Could cry
But in my life, I’ve never cried
Over any love
Ya que es imposible
Dejar de quererte
Señor tabernero
Sírvame otra copa que quiero olvidar
Since it’s impossible
To stop loving you
Bartender
Pour me another drink, I want to forget
