Jota
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG ENG FRE GER
Dicen que no nos queremos
Porque no nos ven hablar;
A tu corazón y al mío
Se lo pueden preguntar.
Ya me despido de tí,
De tu casa y tu ventana,
Y aunque no quiera tu madre,
Adiós, niña, hasta mañana.
Aunque no quiera tu madre...

They say we don't love each other
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
They say we don't love each other
because they never see us talking
But they only have to ask
both your heart and mine.
Now I bid you farewell,
to your house and your window
And even though your mother may not want it,
Farewell, my sweetheart until tomorrow.
Even though your mother may not want it.
