El Ultimo Beso

Por qué se fué? y por qué murió?

Why did she leave? And why did she die?

Por qué el señor me la quitó?

Why did the Lord take her from me?

Se ha ido al cielo y para poder ir yo

She's gone to heaven, and for me to go there too

debo también ser bueno para estar con mi amor.

I must also be good to be with my love.

Ibamos los dos al anochecer

We were both going at dusk

oscurecia y no podía ver

It was getting dark, and I couldn't see

yo manejaba iba a más de cien

I was driving, going over a hundred

prendí las luces para leer

I turned on the lights to read

habia un letrero de desviación

There was a detour sign

el cual pasamos sin precaución

Which we passed without caution

muy tarde fué y al enfrenar

It was too late, and when I braked

el carro volco y hasta el fondo fué a dar.

The car flipped and went all the way down.

Al vueltas dar yo me salí

As I spun around, I got out

por un momento no supe de mi

For a moment, I didn't know about myself

al despertar hacia el carro corrí

When I woke up, I ran to the car

y aun con vida la pude hallar

And still alive, I found her

al verme lloró y me dijo adios

Seeing me, she cried and said goodbye

allá te espero donde está el señor

"I'll wait for you there where the Lord is

él a querido separarnos hoy

He wanted to separate us today

abrazame fuerte porque me voy

Hug me tight because I'm leaving"

al fin la abraze en mis brazos se sonrió

Finally, I hugged her, she smiled in my arms

después de un suspiro en mis brazos quedó.

After a sigh, she stayed in my arms.
