En la taberna a las tres

At the Tavern at Three

En la taberna a las tres

After trying for a whileDespués de intentarlo un rato
He paid for that roundPagó aquella conviá
He reached into his walletEchó mano a su cartera
And a picture fell outY se le cayó un retrato
Under a straw hatBajo un sombrero de paja
I saw the face of a young manVi la cara de un muchacho
Carrying a cartQue una carreta cargaba
And I had to look at itY lo tuve que mirar
I handed him the picture from the floorLe di el retrato del suelo
And he said without thinkingY me dijo sin pensar
That man with the hatEse hombre del sombrero
Has earned gloryTiene la gloria ganá

He never wanted me to talk to himNunca quiso que le hablara
With her, I was happyCon ella yo era feliz
I was crazy and heartbrokenAndaba en aquellos días
In those daysLoco y desenamorao
The girlfriend I hadLa novia que yo tenía
Was leaving my sideSe marchaba de mi lao
When I loved her the mostCuando yo más la quería
And instead of telling her anythingY por no decirle na
I left him alone in the fieldLo dejé solo en la era
With the need to winCon la cosa de ganá
And with the same coinY con la misma moneda
Now they will pay meAhora me van a pagar

There are loves that are heldHay cariños que se tienen
There are loves that are forgottenHay cariños que se olvidan
And I haven't found anyoneY yo no he encontrao a nadie
Who loves me on this pathQue me quiera en ésta vía
Like my father loves meComo me quiere mi pare

He talked to the mirrorHablaba con el espejo
Of that crystal glassDe aquel vaso de cristal
Then the word sheDespués la palabra ella
Escaped from between her lipsSe escapó de entre sus labios
She asked for another half bottlePidió otra media botella
And the light of a cigaretteY la lumbre de un cigarro
Lit up her drunkennessAlumbró su borrachera
And she had to tellY lo tuvo que contar
She was my daughter-in-law for seven yearsFue mi nuera siete años
I appreciate her a lotYo la aprecio una jartá
She herself has told meElla misma me ha contao
That she is no longer in loveQue ya no está enamorá

There are loves that are heldHay cariños que se tienen
There are loves of oblivionHay cariños del olvío
What a shame for those who don't knowQué pena del que no sabe
Until they have a childHasta que no tiene un hijo
How much their father loves themLo que lo quiere su pare

Tomorrow when I wake upMañana cuando amanezca
I don't know what I'm going to doNo se lo que voy a hacer
Yesterday I said those wordsAyer dije esas palabras
Today I woke up earlyHoy me levanté temprano
Seeing her bed emptyAl ver vacía su cama
I was nineteen years oldTuve diecinueve años
And a girlfriend who flew awayY una novia que volaba
What she had to cry for...!¡Lo que tuvo que llorar…!
To feel what I feelPor sentir lo que yo siento
Today I have to hug himHoy lo tengo que abrazar
That man with the hatEse hombre del sombrero
Has earned gloryTiene la gloria ganá

There are loves that are heldHay cariños que se tienen
There are loves that are forgottenHay cariños que se olvían
And I haven't found anyoneY yo no he encontrao a nadie
Who loves me on this pathQue me quiera en ésta vía
Like my father loves meComo me quiere mi pare
