Amor Secreto
La Mona Jiménez
Lyrics
Translation
Todos los domingos se va a la iglesia
Every Sunday she goes to church
y en el primer banco ella se sienta,
And in the first pew, she sits
cuando el sacerdote dice la misa,
When the priest says the Mass
una luz se enciende en sus mejillas.
A light shines on her cheeks
Nadie se imagina que hace ya tiempo,
No one imagines that for a long time
sin quererlo ella lo ama en silencio,
Unintentionally, she loves him in silence
nadie se imagina que esta sufriendo,
No one imagines that she is suffering
al ver imposible su amor secreto.
Seeing her secret love as impossible
Ella, vive enamorada se muere por el que no sabe nada.
She lives in love, dying for him who knows nothing
Ella, todo lo que siente quisiera gritarlo pero no se atreve.
She wants to scream everything she feels but doesn't dare
Ella, le pide a su dios que haga que lo borre de su pensamiento o que le dé su amor.
She asks her God to erase him from her thoughts or to give her his love
Siempre que la gente sale de misa,
Whenever people leave Mass
se queda rezando no tiene prisa,
She stays praying, without haste
llena de ternura y con prudencia,
Full of tenderness and prudence
le mira sin que él pueda darse cuenta.
She looks at him without him realizing
Luego se dirige al confesionario,
Then she goes to the confessional
aunque su alma este limpia de pecado,
Although her soul is free from sin
pero así es feliz, aunque sea un rato,
But this way, she is happy, even if only for a while
al estar allí cerca de su amado.
Being there close to her beloved
Ella, vive enamorada se muere por el que no sabe nada.
She lives in love, dying for him who knows nothing
Ella, todo lo que siente quisiera gritarlo pero no se atreve.
She wants to scream everything she feels but doesn't dare
Ella, le pide a su dios que haga que lo borre de su pensamiento...
She asks her God to erase him from her thoughts...
... O que le dé su amor!!!!!
... Or to give her his love!!!!
