Coplas Del Querer

Tell me you love me,
Tell me for God's sake
Even if you don't feel it, even if it's a lie
But tell me.
Tell me softly,
It will be easier for you to tell me like that
And your 'I love you' will be for my sorrows
Just like rain in May and April,
Have mercy on my heart.
Tell me you love me, tell me,
Tell me you love me
Tell me for God's sake.

I love you more than my life,
I love you more than my eyes
Or 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 to you, companion
I shouldn't love you, I shouldn't love you
And yet I do.

Bitter wine that brings no joy,
Even if I get drunk, I can't forget her,
Because I remember her
Give me, give me, give me bitter wine.
Let it be bitter, let it be bitter, let it be bitter
To love her more.
This sorrow of mine
Is stabbing me at night and day,
This sorrow of mine, if I'm alone, keeps me company.
If it sees I'm sad, it turns into joy,
If it sees I'm lost, it serves as a guide
I know it torments me and it's an agony
But I'm content, but I'm content with my sorrow.
With my sorrow.
