Translation

Fume, compadre

Smoke, buddy

Fume y charlemos

Smoke and let's chat

Y mientras fuma recordaremos

And while you smoke, we'll remember

Que con el humo del cigarrillo

That with the cigarette smoke

Ya se nos va la juventud

Our youth is slipping away


Fume, compadre

Smoke, buddy

Fume y recuerde

Smoke and remember

Que yo también recordaré

That I will also remember

Con el alma la quería

With my soul, I loved her

Y un negro día

And on a dark day

La abandone

I abandoned her


Voy, sin poderla olvidar

I go, unable to forget her

Atormentado por la pena

Tormented by sorrow

Ella juró que era buena

She swore she was good

Y no la quise escuchar

And I didn't want to listen

De nada sirve el guapear

It's useless to act tough

Cuando es honda la metida

When the trouble is deep

Pobrecita, mi querida

Poor thing, my dear

Toda la vidala he de llorar

All my life, I will cry


Y ahora, compadre

And now, buddy

Arrepentido

Repentant

Quiero olvidarla y no la olvido

I want to forget her, but I don't

Si hasta parece

It even seems

Que ella se mece

That she sways


Entre las nubes de humo azul

Among the blue smoke clouds

Fume, compadre

Smoke, buddy

Fume y soñemos

Smoke and let's dream

Quiero olvidar mi ingratitud

I want to forget my ingratitude

Al ver hoy que, como el humo

Seeing today that, like smoke

Se desvanece la juventud

Youth vanishes
