La Primera Caricia

The First Caress

La Primera Caricia

I was the firstYo fui el primero
To steal your lipsQue robo a tus labios
The first loving caressLa primera caricia enamorada

And from your eyesY de tus ojos
The first glanceLa primer mirada
And from your chestY de tu pecho
A virginal sighUn suspiro virginal

I know you've givenSe que a otro hombre
Your love to another manTu amor le has entregado
And you love him with the purest affectionY le amas con el más puro cariño

So love him thenÁmale pues
In his life and in his nameEn su vida y en su nombre
For there's nothing left, nothingQue ya no queda nada, nada
Between you and meEntre tú y yo

Here I send youAhí te mando
Your wilted liliesTus marchitos nardos
Your picture and the caresses you gave meTu retrato y las caricias que me diste

But the letters you oncePero las cartas que en un tiempo
Wrote to meMe escribiste
My loveJamás mi vida
Will never return to your handsA tus manos volverás
