Que Pena Que Sea Pecado

What a Shame That It's a Sin

CLEMENTINA
To be close to him, I say the penance right here

SILVESTRE
Clementina, Clementina.
Clementina, Clementina, mmm.

CLEMENTINA
But why do I
think of him?
If I know it's not meant to be.
That it's a sin and forbidden...
A great sin?

SILVESTRE
Clementina, Clementina
Clementina, Clementina

CLEMENTINA
What a shame that it's a sin and that the sin ends like this.
What a shame that my desire for this good love
ends here.
I chase you at night...

SILVESTRE
Clementina...

CLEMENTINA
...and dream of you during the day.

SILVESTRE
Clementina...

CLEMENTINA
I say your name and you don't even hear the echo of my voice.
That's why you don't understand anything.
If I wait for you, you ignore me,
If I speak to you, you stay silent and don't say a word.
And it's a shame that I, how unfortunate I am!
Who has fallen in love with an impossible man, oh, poor me!
What a shame that it's a sin. What a shame.
If you weren't you, I could have your affection,
but if you weren't you, maybe I wouldn't think of your love.
It's a sin that I
would lie for you even to God,
to the point of inventing mortal sins to talk to you again.
What a shame that it's a sin, what a shame.
Sin...

SILVESTRE
Clementina, Clementina, mmm.
Clementina, Clementina, mmm.
