Lyrics and translation Eliseo Robles - La Gitanilla




La Gitanilla
The Gypsy Girl
Cuando ella me dijo que no me quería
When she told me she didn't love me
Corrí como loco de pena y dolor
I ran like a madman with pain and sorrow
Pensé en mi tristeza, quitarme la vida
I thought of my sadness, to take my life
Entré a una cantina pa' darme valor
I went into a bar to give myself courage
Sentado en la mesa bebiendo tequila
Sitting at the table drinking tequila
Llegó una gitana y al verme llorar
A gypsy woman arrived and seeing me crying
Me dijo: "no llores no es grande tu pena
She said to me: "Don't cry, your pain is not great
Yo que la ingrata te vendra a rogar"
I know that the ungrateful woman will come begging you"
Le puse mi mano, leyó mi futuro
I put my hand on her, she read my future
Me dijo: "ella vuelve no vive sin ti"
She said: "She will come back, she can't live without you
Deja esa tristeza y vete seguro lo he visto
Leave that sadness and go, I've seen it for sure
Que dice en tu mano serás muy feliz
It says in your hand that you will be very happy
Le di una moneda, salió la gitana
I gave her a coin, the gypsy left
Tomé una guitarra y me puse a cantar
I took a guitar and started to sing
Pedí más tequila, brindé de alegría
I asked for more tequila, I toasted with joy
Me puse a esperarla queriendo la más
I waited for her, wanting her even more
Pasaron los días, los meses, los años
Days, months, years passed by
Y aquella esperanza de volver a ver
And that hope of seeing you again
Y aquella tristeza ya todo a cambiado
And that sadness, everything has changed
Ya nada me importa si piensa volver
I don't care anymore if she thinks of coming back
Vuelvo a la cantina a tomar tequila
I go back to the bar to drink tequila
Pude hechar un grito y de gusto cantar
I was able to let out a scream and sing with pleasure
Y darle gracias a la gitanita
And thank the gypsy
Que con sus mentiras me enseñó a olvidar
Who with her lies taught me to forget
