Y Sin Embargo Te Quiero

They told me a thousand times,
But I never wanted to pay attention.
When the tears came,
You were already deep inside my heart.
I waited for you until very late,
I never reproached you;
The most I asked you
Was if you loved me.
And, under your kisses,
In the early morning,
Without you noticing the pain of my anguish
I used to sing:

I love you more than my eyes,
I love you more than my life,
More than the air I breathe
And more than my own mother.
May my pulses stop if I stop loving you
May the bells toll if I ever fail you.

You are my life and my death,
I swear it, my companion;
I shouldn't love you
I shouldn't love you
And yet I love you.

You live with others
And you don't care about my loneliness;
You know you have a son
And you don't even give him your last name.
Crying next to the cradle
The first light of day comes to me.
My child has no father...
What a pity for my luck!
Come, King of Spain,
Let's go to sleep,
And, without realizing it, instead of a lullaby
I sing to him like this:

I love you more than my eyes,
I love you more than my life,
More than the air I breathe
And more than my own mother.
May my pulses stop if I stop loving you
May the bells toll if I ever fail you.

You are my life and my death,
I swear it, my companion;
I shouldn't love you
I shouldn't love you
And yet I love you
