Claveles de Enero

January Carnations

Claveles de Enero

I saw a cloud comingYo vi venir una nube
As if it wanted to rainComo que quería llover
How do you want me to forget youCómo quieres que te olvide
If now I start to love youSi ahora te empiezo a querer

I wish I could be looking at youQuisiera estarte mirando
All thirty days of the monthLos treinta días del mes
One hug per weekUn abrazo por semana
And a little kiss each timeY un besito en cada vez

You already knew I was marriedYa sabías que era casado
That I liked to drinkQue me gustaba tomar
You already knew all my vicesYa sabías todos mis vicios
What's the use of cryingQué remedias con llorar

In January there are no carnationsEn enero no hay claveles
Because the frost withers themPorque los marchita el hielo
Only in your garden you have themSolo en tu huerto los tienes
By providence of heavenPor providencia del cielo

Lift your eyes and lookAlza los ojos y mira
At the tears I shedLas lágrimas que derramo
So you know that I love youPara que sepas que te amo
And you don't love meY tú no me amas a mí

I'm leaving now, I bid farewellYa me voy, ya me despido
With feeling and painCon sentimiento y dolor
I'm going to travel around the worldVoy a darle vuelta al mundo
To talk with my loveA platicar con mi amor
