Llorar por qué llorar
Si te he perdido
Si sé, que por mi bien
Te he de olvidar
Si sé, que aunque te quiero, todavía
Nunca te he de buscar
Nunca te he de rogar

Why cry, why cry
If I’ve lost you
If I know, for my own sake
It necessary forget you
If I know that even though I still love you
I will never seek you out
I will never beg you

De todos, los amores
Que he tenido
Tú fuiste, un desengaño, para mí
Y quiero, sepultar, en el olvido
Todos aquellos besos
Que por mi mal te di

Of all the loves
That I’ve experienced
You were a disappointment to me
And I want to forget
All those kisses
That I regret giving you

Y quiero, sepultar, en el olvido
Todos aquellos besos
Que por mi mal te di
Llorar, por qué, por qué llorar

And I want to forget
All those kisses
That I regret giving you
Why cry, why cry
