Aquel Amor

That Love

Aquel Amor

The young man arrived back in townLlegó el muchacho aquel de nuevo al pueblo
Truth is the girlfriend was the firstVerdad que la novia fue lo primero
He called her and continued drinking to wait for the hourLa citó y siguió bebiendo pa esperar la hora
And that village girlY aquella muchachita pueblerina
Who lived conceited to be his girlfriendQue de ser novia de él vivía engreída
Anxious, determined, and proudAnsiosa decidida y con orgullo
She did everything she could but they didn't see each otherHizo todo lo que pudo pero no se vieron

And it was true, he couldn't come out, I demanded itY fué verdad no pudo salir yo se lo exigí
I sent him a message, it was an obligationLe mandé razón, que era obligación
Intransigent because he had been drinkingIntransigente porque había tomado
And I sent word on a paperY le mandé a decir en un papel
You can choose because I'm leavingPuedes escoger porque yo me voy
We won't see each other today, and you can consider everything finishedNo nos vemos hoy, y pudes dar todo por terminado

I returned shortly after, then I kept my wordVolví al poco tiempo entonces cumplí mis palabras
I didn't write to him or speak to him, and I didn't even mention herYo no le escribí ni le hablaba, y de ella no hacía ni mención
And she, however, who perhaps was the offended oneY ella sin embargo, que quizás era la agraviada
Sent me messages and nothing, and the romance finally endedMe mandaba razón y nada, y el romance al fin se acabó

The same pure country girlLa misma paisanita puritana
After a few years already educatedAl cabo de unos años ya educacda
I found her while walking far from the townLa encontré mientras paseaba muy lejos del pueblo
With a city air and so changedCon aire de ciudad y tan cambiada
I doubted her morals, she seemed so strangeDudé de su moral la vi tan rara
I barely believe that it was noticeableApenas creo que si se le notaba
That she remembered her old loves when she saw meQue a mi encuentro recordaba sus amores viejos

And of course, she was my girlfriend again, because I looked for herY claro fue mi novia otra vez, porque la busqué
And she was just as eager, never thinkingY ella ansiosa igual, sin pensar jamás
That there were barriers that kept us apartQue habían barreras que nos ponían lejos
She gives me affection, love, frenzyMe da cariño, amor, frenesí
Who could do more, however to meQuien pudiera más, sin embargo a mi
It doesn't taste the same, it has malice, it no longer tastes like the villageNo me sabe igual, tiene malicia ya no sabe a pueblo

Because she's not the one from that environment, now she's all dressed upPorque no es aquella del ambiente, ahora esta chapeada
If she was pretty and didn't wear makeup, if she was sober and originalSi era linda y no se pintaba, si era sobria y original
Drunk fate, once I didn't appreciate thatBorracho destino, una vez no aprecié de aquella
She's different but she's good, don't make me give inEs distinta pero ella es buena, no me obligues a claudicar
Because to give inPorque claudicar
