Un Viejo Amor

An Old Love

Un Viejo Amor

For a pair of black eyesPor unos ojos negros
just like the pains of love,igual que penas de amores,
I once had longings,hace tiempo tuve anhelos,
happiness and heartaches.alegrias y sinsabores.
And when I left them one dayY, al dejarlos algún dia
they said to me, crying:me decian así, llorando:
Don't forget, my dear,No te olvides, dida mia,
of what I'm singing to you.de lo que te estoy cantando.

An old loveUn viejo amor
neither forgotten nor left behind;ni se olvida ni se deja
an old loveun viejo amor
if it drifts from our soul,de nuestra alma si se aleja,
but it never says goodbye.pero nunca dice adiós.

A lot of time has passedHa pasado mucho tiempo
and I saw those eyes again,y otra vez vi aquellos ojos,
they looked at me with indifference,me miraron con despego,
without love and without anger.sin amor y sin enojos.
And, noticing that disdainY, al notar ese desprecio
from eyes that once cried for me,de ojos que a mi lloraron,
I asked if with timepregunté si con el tiempo
their promises were forgotten.sus promesas se olvidaron.

An old loveUn viejo amor
neither forgotten nor left behind;ni se olvida ni se deja;
an old loveun viejo amor
if it drifts from our soul,de nuestra alma si se aleja,
but it never says goodbye.pero nunca dice adiós.

an old love.un viejo amor.
