Conocí a Tu Esposo

Conocí a tu esposo

I met your husband

Mientras caminaba por el parquecito

While walking in the little park

Que aquellas tardes recorrimos tanto

That we used to stroll through those afternoons

Me miró de frente, agachó la cara

He looked at me directly, lowered his face

Mientras tu mirada se clavó en mis ojos

While your gaze pierced into my eyes

Asomando el llanto

With tears welling up

Aquel hombre bueno llevaba cargando

That good man was carrying

Un hermoso niño que se habia dormido

A beautiful child who had fallen asleep

Porque ya era tarde

Because it was already late

Y tan sincera para no engañarlo

And so sincere, not to deceive him

Esoty bien seguro que le confesaste

I'm quite sure that you confessed to him

Que yo soy su padre

That I am his father

El tal vez pensó que le guardo rencor

Perhaps he thought that I hold a grudge

Porque para siempre me robó tu amor

Because he forever stole your love from me

Pero no se imagina que yo lo respeto

But he can't imagine that I respect him

Como a un gran señor

As a great gentleman

Porque supo darte las cosas

Because he knew how to give you the things

Que nunca pude darte yo

That I could never give you

A ese pequeñito le puedes decir

You can tell that little one

Que yo fui un canalla que te hizo sufrir

That I was a scoundrel who made you suffer

Y que aquella tarde como un vil cobarde

And that afternoon, like a vile coward

Te dejé partir

I let you go

Y nomás por eso, de pura tristeza

And just for that, out of pure sadness

Me voy a morir

I'm going to die
