Los Ladrones

The Thieves

Los Ladrones

The rose bushes that were in the courtyardLos rosales que estaban en el patio
From the little house that I bought with so much loveDe la casita que compré con tanto amor
From the little house that I paid for with sacrificeDe la casita que pagué con sacrificio
The rose bushes no longer have a single flowerYa los rosales no tienen ni una flor

Only the thorns remainedSolamente quedaron las espinas
It causes sorrow, the little house causes painCausa penas, la casita da dolor
The thieves broke the windowsLos ladrones rompieron las ventanas
A madman has broken our loveUn loco ha roto nuestro amor

The thieves broke the windowsLos ladrones rompieron las ventanas
What a pity, I ended our loveQué pena, yo acabé con nuestro amor

What a pity, what a pityQué pena, qué pena
What a pity, the little house hurtsQué pena, la casita da dolor
What a pity, what a pityQué pena, qué pena
What a pity, I ended our loveQué pena, yo acabé con nuestro amor

The bamboos that once stood at the doorLos bambús que antes se erguían en la puerta
They have already bent over, resigned to dieYa se doblaron, resignados a morir
Through the window, now fallen and always openPor la ventana, hoy caída y siempre abierta
A neighbor tells that a dream saw him leaveCuenta un vecino que un sueño vio partir

Only the memories remainedSolamente quedaron los recuerdos
And there are some tuberoses that should not be driedY hay unos nardos que no se han de secar
Because I will water them with my tearsPorque voy a regarlos con mi llanto
Until I die or until I see you returnHasta morirme o hasta verte regresar

Because I will water them with my tearsPorque voy a regarlos con mi llanto
What a shame, I ended up with our homeQué pena, yo acabé con nuestro hogar

What a pity, what a pityQué pena, qué pena
What a shame, how could I not cry?Qué pena, ¿cómo no voy a llorar?
What a pity, what a pityQué pena, qué pena
What a shame, I ended up with our homeQué pena, yo acabé con nuestro hogar
