El Cerillazo

The Matchstick

El Cerillazo

My life I would have given youMi vida te huviera dado
If you had wanted it that wayDe haberlo querido asi
My life would have passedMi vida huviera pasado
Happy and in loveContento y enamorado
Living close to youViviendo juntito a ti

Both of us would have been happyLos dos fueramos dichosos
Living our loveViviendo nuestro querer
Always passing lovinglyPasando siempre amorosos
Eternities of joysEternidades de gozos
Between caresses, my dearEntre caricias mi bien

But I don't knowPero yo no se
I can't understandNo puedo entender
If you were in my armsSi estuviste entre mis brazos
And today you deny me your loveY hoy me niegas tu querer
But I don't knowPero yo no se
What happened to youLo que te paso
Was your love a matchstickFue tu amor un cerillazo
That suddenly went outQue de pronto se apago

Love is repaid with loveAmor con amor se paga
And mine has been repaid poorlyY al mio le han pagado mal
Come back, love, to my soulRegresate amor a mi alma
Don't lose your calm for God's sakeNo pierdas por dios la calma
And start overY vuelvas a comenzar

Love, if you loved herAmor si tu la quisiste
You must forgive herLa debes de perdonar
It's better to live sadlyMejor es que vivas triste
Remember that you lost herRecuerda que la perdiste
Don't go looking for herNo la vallas a buscar

But I don't knowPero yo no se
I can't understandNo puedo entender
If you were in my armsSi estuviste entre mis brazos
And today you deny me your loveY hoy me niegas tu querer
But I don't knowPero yo no se
What happened to youLo que te paso
Was your love a matchstickFue tu amor un cerillazo
That suddenly went outQue de pronto se apago
