Singer: Roberto Carlos
Cuando era un chiquillo, que alegría
Jugando a la guerra, noche y día
Saltando una verja, verte a ti y así
En tus ojos, algo nuevo descubrir
When I was a kid, what a joy
Playing war, night and day
Jumping a gate, to see you and like that
In your eyes, I discovered something new
Las rosas decían que eras mía
Y un gato me hacía compañía
Desde que me dejaste, yo no sé por qué
La ventana es más grande sin tu amor
The roses would say that you’re mine
And a cat would keep me company
Ever since you left me, I don’t know why
The window is bigger without your love
El gato que está en nuestro cielo
No va a volver a casa si no estás
Lo sabes mi amor, que noche bella
Presiento que tú estás en esa estrella
The cat that is in our sky
Is not going to come back home if you’re not there
You know it my love, what a beautiful night
I feel that you are in that star
El gato que está triste y azul
Nunca se olvida que fuiste mía
Más sé que sabrá de mi sufrir
Porque en mis ojos una lágrima hay
The cat that is sad and blue
Will never forget that you were mine
Moreover, it will know about my suffering
Because there’s a tear in my eye
Querida, querida, vida mía
Reflejo de luna que reía
Si amar es errado, culpa mía
Te amé en el fondo, ¿Qué es la vida? No lo sé
Dear, dear, my life
Reflection of a moon that used to laugh
If loving is wrong, my fault
I loved you deep down, what is life? I don’t know
El gato que está en nuestro cielo
No va a volver a casa si no estás
Lo sabes mi amor, que noche bella
Presiento que tú estás en esa estrella
The cat that is in our sky
Is not going to come back home if you’re not there
You know it my love, what a beautiful night
I feel that you are in that star
El gato que está triste y azul
Nunca se olvida que fuiste mía
Mas siempre serás en mi mirar
Lágrima clara de primavera
The cat that is sad and blue
Will never forget that you were mine
You will always be in my eyes
The clear tear of spring
El gato que está en la oscuridad
Sabe que en mi alma una lágrima hay
The cat that is in the darkness
Knows that there is a tear in my soul
El gato que está triste y azul
Nunca se olvida que fuiste mía
Mas siempre serás en mi mirar
Lágrima clara de primavera
The cat that is sad and blue
Will never forget that you were mine
You will always be in my eyes
The clear tear of spring
El gato que está triste y azul
Nunca se olvida que fuiste mía
Mas siempre serás en mi mirar
Lágrima clara de primavera
The cat that is sad and blue
Will never forget that you were mine
You will always be in my eyes
The clear tear of spring
