Una Tarde

An Afternoon

Una Tarde

On a cloudy and gloomy afternoonUna tarde nublada y sombria
When the sun was starting to setCuando el sol se empezaba a meter
She would look up and see meElla alzaba la vista y me veia
Today I find her and don't know what to doHoy la encuentro y no hallo que hacer
A little corner in the fireplaceRinconcito que en el almadoro
That has come down from the skyQue del cielo ah venido a caer
Just like you, little one, I loveComo a ti yo te quiero chiquita
I don't want richesYo riquezas no quiero tener

If I am not to have that joyHay si no eh de tener esa dicha
Of seeing you asleep in my armsDe mirarte en mis brazos dormida
May God take my lifeQue dios padre me quite la vida
If you are my illusion and my beingSi eres tu mi ilusion y mi ser

(and here goes my buddy Sergio Lizarraga(y ahi le va mi compa sergio lizarraga
And pure old school ms)Y pura ms viejon)

I'm leaving, have a good nightYa me voy pasen muy buenas noches
The band doesn't want to play anymoreYa la banda no quiere tocar
I hear sad voicesOigo tristes sonidos de voces
Poor thing, she wants to cryPobrecita ya quiere llorar
A little corner in the fireplaceRinconcito que en almadoro
That has come down from the skyQue del cielo ah venido a caer
Just like you, little one, I loveComo a ti yo te quiero chiquita
I don't want richesYa riquezas no quiero tener
Come to me, I'm waiting for youVena ami que te estoy esperando
With open arms, little oneCon los brazos abiertos chiquita
Like a wounded bird flyingComo un pajaro herido volando
To kiss your sweet little mouth.Pa besarte tu dulce boquita.
