La Gitanilla

The Little Gypsy

La Gitanilla

When she told me she didn't love me, I ran like a crazy man of sorrow and painCuando ella me dijo que no me quería corrí como un loco de pena y dolor
I thought about ending my life, entered a cantina to give myself couragePensé en mi tristeza quitarme la vida entre a una cantina por darme valor
Sitting at the table asking for tequila, a gypsy arrived and seeing me crySentado en la mesa pidiendo tequila llego una gitana y al verme llorar
She said don't cry, your pain is not great, I know the ungrateful one will come to beg youMe dijo no llores no es grande tu pena yo se que la ingrata te vendrá a rogar

I put my hand, she read my future, she said she will return, she can't live without youLe puse mi mano leyó mi futuro me dijo ella vuelve no vive sin ti
Leave that sadness and go assured, what it says in your hand, you will be very happyDeja esa tristeza y vete seguro que dice en tu mano serás muy feliz
I gave her a coin, the gypsy left, I took a guitar and started to singLe di una moneda salio la gitana tome una guitarra y me puse a cantar
I asked for more tequila, toasted with joy, I started to wait for her, wanting her the mostPedi mas tequila brinde de alegría me puse a esperarla queriendo la mas

Days passed, months, years, and that hope of seeing her againPasaron los días, los meses, los años y aquella esperanza de volver la ver
And my affection has already changed, nothing matters to me if she thinks of returningY de mi cariño ya todo a cambiado ya nada me importa si piensa en volver
I return to the cantina to drink tequila, I could shout and sing with joyVuelvo a la cantina a tomar tequila pude echar un grito y de gusto cantar
And thank the little gypsy who with her lies taught me to forgetY dárle las gracias a la gitanita que con sus mentiras me enseño olvidar
