Naila

And I took her to the riverY yo que me la lleve al río
Believing she was singleCreyendo que era soltera
But she had a husbandPero tenía marido
The light of entertainmentLa luz del entenimiento
It makes me more cautiousMe hace ser más precavido

Her thighs were slipping away from meSus muslos se me escapaban
Like surprised fishComo peces sorprendidos
Half full of fireLa mitad llenos de lumbre
Half of them were filled with coldLa mitad llenos de frío

And that night I ranY aquella noche corrí
The best of pathsEl mejor de los caminos
With such a fine fillyCon tan potranca fina
Without reins and without stirrupsSin riendas y sin estribos

And I don't mean because of a manY no quiero decir por hombre
Things she told meCosas que ella me dijo
Why, having a husband?Por qué teniendo marido
She told me she was singleMe dijo que era soltera
When I was taking her to the riverCuando la llevaba al río

It was a moonlit nightEra una noche de Luna
Naila was crying in front of meNaila lloraba ante mi
She told me tenderlyElla me dijo con ternura
That he loved me madlyQue me amaba con locura

I asked her why she was cryingYo le pregunté por qué lloraba
And she answered me like thisY ella me contestó así
My caresses are no longer goodYa mis caricias no son buenas
I am no longer Naila to youYa no soy Naila para ti

I already gave myself to another manYa me entregué con otro hombre
I am no longer Naila to youYa no soy Naila para ti

Naila, tell me why you're abandoning meNaila, di por qué me abandonas
Silly girl, even though you know I love youTonta, si bien sabes que te quiero
Come back to meVuelve a mí
Don't look for other paths anymoreYa no busques otros senderos
I forgive you because without your loveTe perdono porque sin tu amor
My heart breaksSe me parte el corazón

I was told about it yesterdayMe lo contaron ayer
Double-edged tonguesLas lenguas de doble filo
You got married a month agoQue te casaste hace un mes
And I remained so calmY me quedé tan tranquilo

Just another person in my caseOtro cualquiera en mi caso
She would have started to crySe hubiese puesto a llorar
I crossed my arms and saidYo cruzándome de brazos, dije
I didn't careQue me daba igual

No shooting myselfNada de pegarme un tiro
Nor will I harass you with cursesNi acosarte a maldiciones
Nor to throw stones with my sighsNi apedrear con mis suspiros
The railings on your balconiesLas rejas de tus balcones

You're married, good luck!Que te has casado, buena suerte
Live 100 years happilyVive 100 años contenta
And that at the hour of your deathY que a la hora de tu muerte
God forbid you should hold it against himDios ni te lo tome a cuenta

Whether at the foot of the altarsQue si al pie de los altares
You forgot my nameMi nombre se te olvido
For the glory of my motherPor la gloria de mi madre
I don't hold a grudge against youQue no te guardo rencor

More like your boyfriend is richMás como tu novio es rico
I'm selling you this prophecyTe vendo esta profecia
Back in the early morningAllá por la madrugada
You will dream that you were mineSoñarás que fuiste mía

And you will remember the afternoonY recordarás la tarde
That my mouth kissed youQue mi boca te besó

And you will wake up cryingY despertarás llorando
And you will call yourself a cowardY te llamarás cobarde
CowardCobarde
How am I telling you this?Como te lo digo yo

Why the one who was notPor qué aquél que no fue
Neither your boyfriend, nor your husbandNi tu novio, ni tu marido
Not even your lover was the one who loved you the mostNi tu amante, fue el que más te ha querido
And with that, my loveY con eso mi amor
That's enough for meCon eso, tengo bastante

And I'm not asking heaven for anythingY no le pido yo al cielo
May he send you more punishmentQue te mande más castigo
That you're sleeping with someone elseQue estés durmiendo con otro
And you're dreaming about meY estés soñando conmigo

Naila, tell me why you're abandoning meNaila, di por qué me abandonas
Silly girl, even though you know I love youTonta, si bien sabes que te quiero
Come back to meVuelve a mí
Don't look for other paths anymoreYa no busques otros senderos
I forgive you because without your loveTe perdono porque sin tu amor
Without your loveSin tu amor
It breaksSe me parte
The heartEl corazón
