Crying for Crying

Llanto Por Llanto

A dove on a branchUna paloma sobre una rama
Opens its beak to singAbre su pico para cantar
The branch shakes as if to sayLa rama tiembla como quien dice
Oh! You don’t know what love is¡Ay! Tú no sabes lo que es amar
The branch shakes as if to sayLa rama tiembla como quien dice
Oh! You don’t know what love is¡Ay! Tú no sabes lo que es amar

I’ve loved you, I’ve cared for youYo te he querido, yo te he amado
You never knew how to return itTú no has sabido corresponderme
Drop by drop, tear by tearGota por gota, llanto por llanto
My dreams have all faded awayMis ilusiones se acabaron
Drop by drop, tear by tearGota por gota, llanto por llanto
My dreams have all faded awayMis ilusiones se acabaron
(Here comes Antonio!)(¡Entra Antonio!)

(What do you think, Carlitos Velarde?)(Qué te parece Carlitos Velarde)
(And your lovely Estercita)(Y tu linda Estercita)
(A toast to you all)(Salud con ustedes)

In the little letters I wrote youEn las cartitas que te escribía
I promised you my whole lifeToda mi vida te he prometido
Now you tell me papers talkAhora me dices papeles hablan
That my love isn’t worth a thingQue mi cariño no vale nada
Now you tell me papers talkAhora me dices papeles hablan
That my love isn’t worth a thingQue mi cariño no vale nada

When I leave, all I askCuando me vaya, solo te pido
Is that you don’t erase me from your memoryQue no me borres de tu memoria
For at least I was oncePor algo he sido siquiera un día
Your faithful lover, little doveTu fiel amante palomita
For at least I was oncePor algo he sido siquiera un día
Your faithful lover, sweet babyTu fiel amante guagua rica

Oh, crying, you’re just crying away!¡Ay, llorando, llorando nomás estás!
Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry because I’m leaving!¡Ay, no llores, no llores porque me voy!
Oh, crying, you’re just crying away!¡Ay, llorando, llorando nomás estás!
Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry because I’m leaving!¡Ay, no llores, no llores porque me voy!
