Singer: Raphael

Han venido a contarme
Que has vuelto a aparecer
Y quieres verme
Que estás arrepentida
Que has cambiado de vida
Que por pensar en mí
Casi ni duermes

They have come to tell me
That you have reappeared
And you want to see me
That you are sorry
That you have changed your life
That for thinking of me
You hardly sleep

Pero ya no te creo
Ese mismo bolero
Lo escuché tantas veces
Y cuando dije ‘sí’
Después me arrepentí
Y lo pagué con creces

But I don’t believe you anymore
That same story
I heard it so many times
And when I said ‘yes’
Later I regretted it
And I paid for it dearly

Toco madera
No vuelvo junto a ti por más que quieras
Porque el quererte
Te juro que me ha dado mala suerte

Touch wood
I won’t come back to you no matter how much you want
Because he loves you
I swear it has given me bad luck

Toco madera
No quiero tu cariño aunque me muera
Y por mi parte
Me vale más perderte que encontrarte

Touch wood
I don’t want your love even if I die
And for my part
It’s better for me to lose you than to find you

No insistas, no me engañas
El zorro pierde el pelo
Nunca las mañas
Ni digas que has cambiado
Que te has encaminado
Porque lo sé muy bien
Son artimañas

Don’t insist, don’t fool me
The fox loses his hair
Never the tricks
Don’t even say that you have changed
That you have headed
Because I know very well
They are tricks

Pero ya no te creo
Ese mismo bolero
Lo escuché tantas veces
Y cuando dije ‘sí’
Después me arrepentí
Y lo pagué con creces

But I don’t believe you anymore
That same story
I heard it so many times
And when I said ‘yes’
Later I regretted it
And I paid for it dearly

Toco madera
No vuelvo junto a ti por más que quieras
Porque el quererte
Te juro que me ha dado mala suerte

Touch wood
I won’t come back to you no matter how much you want
Because he loves you
I swear it has given me bad luck

Toco madera
No quiero tu cariño aunque me muera
Y por mi parte
Me vale más perderte que encontrarte
Toco madera

Touch on wood
I don’t want your love even if I die
And for my part
It’s better for me to lose you than to find you
Touch on wood
