I thought I’d grow old with you

En otra vida, en otro mundo podrá ser

En esta solo queda irme un día

In this one, all that’s left is for me to leave someday

Y solamente verte en el atardecer

Si me ven solo y triste, soy culpable

If you see me alone and sad, I’m the one to blame

Si me ven solo y triste, no me hablen

If you see me alone and sad, don’t talk to me

Si me ven solo y triste, soy culpable

If you see me alone and sad, I’m the one to blame

Y fuiste tú mi baile inolvidable

And you were my unforgettable dance
