Casi, casi
Casi casi me quisiste,
casi te he querido yo.
No llores negra, no llores, no.
Si no es por el casi, casi,
casi me caso con vos.
No llores negra, no llores, no.
El pañuelo que me diste
rama en rama se quedó.
No llores negra, no llores, no.
Vino un fuerte remolino
rama y todo se llevó.
No llores negra, no llores, no.
Botellita dibujada
llenita de agua de olor.
No llores negra, no llores, no.
El quererte no era nada,
el dejarte era un dolor.
No llores negra, no llores, no.
Almost, Almost
Almost, almost loved you,
almost loved you back.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.
If it weren’t for the almost, almost,
almost would’ve married you.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.
The handkerchief you gave me
stayed stuck on the branch.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.
A strong whirlwind came
and took everything away.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.
A little bottle drawn
filled with scented water.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.
Loving you meant nothing,
leaving you was a pain.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.
