La noche de mi mal
No quiero ni volver a oír tu nombre,
no quiero ni saber adónde vas.
Asi me lo dijiste aquella noche,
aquella negra noche de mi mal.
Si yo te hubiera dicho "No te vayas",
que triste me esperaba el porvenir
Si yo te hubiera dicho "No me dejes"
mi propio corazón se iba a reír.
Por eso fue que me viste tan tranquilo,
caminar serenamente bajo un cielo más que azul;
después, ya ves, me aguanté hasta donde pude,
terminé llorando a mares donde no me vieras tú.
The Night of My Misfortune
I don't even want to hear your name again,
I don't even want to know where you're going.
That's what you told me that night,
that dark night of my misfortune.
If I had told you 'Don't go',
how sad my future would have been.
If I had told you 'Don't leave me',
my own heart would have laughed.
That's why you saw me so calm,
walking calmly under a sky bluer than blue;
then, you see, I held on as long as I could,
ended up crying a river where you wouldn't see me.
