La Vieja Banca
Valentín Elizalde
Lyrics
Translation
ay frente a la iglesia
Oh, in front of the church
una vieja banca
An old bench
que testigo fue
That was a witness
de aquellas promesas
Of those promises
que de amor me hiciste
That you made to me with love
que nunca olvidare
That I will never forget
tambien es testigo
It is also a witness
de cuando te fuiste
Of when you left
te quise detener
I wanted to stop you
se me parte el alma
My soul is breaking
se me parte el alma
My soul is breaking
tansolo de pensar
Just thinking
que ya no has de volver
That you won't come back
"y yo no queria que te fueras, pero tu orgullo
"And I didn't want you to go, but your pride
me impidio detenerte, ante mi posibilidad de
Prevented me from stopping you, given my possibility
tenerte y acerte feliz, mejor decidi dejarte marchar,
Of having you and making you happy, I decided
te llevaste contigo la tele, el refrigerador, todo te llevaste
To let you go, you took with you the TV, the refrigerator,
y sin embargo te estoy extrañando,......dale"
And yet I'm missing you......go on"
cuanto sufrimiento
How much suffering
hay dentro de mi alma
There is inside my soul
que grande dolor
What a great pain
llorando en silencio
Crying in silence
mi vida se acaba
My life is ending
me falta tu amor
I miss your love
se me parte el alma
My soul is breaking
ver al vieja banca
Seeing the old bench
desde que te perdi
Since I lost you
yo me siento en ella
I sit on it
porque tengo miedo
Because I'm afraid
que un dia me pregunte
That one day it will ask me
que a sido de ti
What has become of you
