Singer: Marco Antonio Solís
Era para mí
El cariño más bonito que en la vida conocí
Pues su corazón, tan grande como el mismo sol
El que un día le diera brillo a mi existir
It was for me
The most beautiful affection I ever knew in life
For her heart, as big as the sun
The one that once gave light to my existence
Tuve que partir
Y apenas resistía caminar con mi dolor
Era que el amor no me dejaba continuar
Y mordí mis labios para no llorar
I had to leave
And I could barely stand walking with my pain
It was that love wouldn’t let me move on
And I bit my lips to avoid crying
Morenita, yo te estoy queriendo tanto
Que en mi pecho te quedaste para siempre
Entre gente que viene y que va
Tu ausencia se siente más
Little brown girl, I love you so much
That in my chest, you stayed forever
Among people who come and go
Your absence is felt more
Morenita, cuanto añoro estar contigo
Sin ti en esta soledad me estoy muriendo.
Yo no entiendo cómo sucedió
Que el destino de tus brazos me arranco
Little brown girl, how I long to be with you
Without you, in this loneliness, I’m dying.
I don’t understand how it happened
That fate tore me away from your arms
Morenita, yo te estoy queriendo tanto
Que en mi pecho te quedaste para siempre
Entre gente que viene y que va
Tu ausencia se siente más
Little brown girl, I love you so much
That in my chest, you stayed forever
Among people who come and go
Your absence is felt more
Morenita, cuanto añoro estar contigo
Sin ti en esta soledad me estoy muriendo.
Yo no entiendo cómo sucedió
Que el destino de tus brazos me arranco
Little brown girl, how I long to be with you
Without you, in this loneliness, I’m dying.
I don’t understand how it happened
That fate tore me away from your arms
