La noche de mi mal

No quiero ni volver a oír tu nombre,

I don't even want to hear your name again,

no quiero ni saber adónde vas.

I don't even want to know where you're going.

Asi me lo dijiste aquella noche,

That's what you told me that night,

aquella negra noche de mi mal.

that dark night of my misfortune.

Si yo te hubiera dicho "No te vayas",

If I had told you, "Don't go,"

que triste me esperaba el porvenir

how sad my future would have been.

Si yo te hubiera dicho "No me dejes"

If I had told you, "Don't leave me,"

mi propio corazón se iba a reír.

my own heart would have laughed at me.

Por eso fue que me viste tan tranquilo,

That's why you saw me so calm,

caminar serenamente bajo un cielo más que azul;

walking serenely under a sky bluer than blue;

después, ya ves, me aguanté hasta donde pude,

later, you see, I endured as much as I could,

terminé llorando a mares donde no me vieras tú.

ended up crying rivers where you couldn't see me.
