Zamba de Los Días

Zamba of the Days

Zamba de Los Días

On Monday I met youEl lunes te conocí
On Tuesday I got excitedEl martes me ilusioné
On Wednesday I couldn't sleepEl miércoles no dormía
Thinking about seeing you againPensando en volverte a ver
On Wednesday I couldn't sleepEl miércoles no dormía
Thinking only about seeing you againPensando solo en volverte a ver

On Thursday I regrettedEl jueves me arrepentí
The enthusiasm of yesterdayDel entusiasmo de ayer
On Friday you proposed to meEl viernes me propusiste
And I, like hearing the rainY yo, como oír llover
And on Saturday we saidY el sábado nos dijimos
Goodbye, goodbye, may you fare wellAdiós, adiós, que te vaya bien

Look at the wayFíjense que manera
Of wasting timeDe perder el tiempo
Day after monthDía tras mes
A whole week passedPaso una semana entera
But ten years went byPero años pasaron diez
Until one spring SundayHasta que un domingo de primavera
I stepped on the stick and fell in lovePisé el palito y me enamoré

On Monday I replied to youEl lunes te respondí
On the ground with my footEn el suelo con el pie
On Tuesday never embarkEl martes nunca te embarques
That's why I didn't embarkPor eso no me embarqué
On Tuesday never embarkEl martes nunca te embarques
That's why I didn't embarkPor eso mismo no me embarqué

On Wednesday I lost itEl miércoles lo perdí
Changing my mindCambiando de parecer
On Thursday I shook your handEl jueves te di la mano
And on Friday I took it awayY el viernes te la quité
And on Saturday we saidY el sábado nos dijimos
Goodbye, goodbye, may you fare wellAdiós, adiós, qué te vaya bien

Look at the wayFíjense que manera
Of wasting timeDe perder el tiempo
Day after monthDía tras mes
A whole week passedPaso una semana entera
But ten years went byPero años pasaron diez
Until one spring SundayHasta que un domingo de primavera
I stepped on the stick and fell in lovePisé el palito y me enamoré
