Lyrics and translation José Alfredo Jiménez - La Estrella




La Estrella
The Star
Ay amor, amor
Oh love, love
Amor mío
My love
¿Dónde andas chiquita?
Where are you, my little one?
La única estrella que tiene mi cielo
The only star in my sky
Se está borrando
Is fading away
La nube negra de mi desgracia
The dark cloud of my misfortune
Poquito a poco, la va tapando
Is slowly covering it
Y aunque yo quiera que no se vaya
And though I wish it would stay
Ya es mi destino jamás mirarla
It is my destiny to never see it again
Quién me lo manda poner los ojos
Who told me to set my eyes
En una estrella que está tan alta
On a star that is so high?
¿Quién me lo manda amor?
Who told me to, love?
La única estrella que tiene mi cielo
The only star in my sky
Se está perdiendo
Is disappearing
La nube negra de mi desgracia
The dark cloud of my misfortune
Poquito a poco la va cubriendo
Is slowly covering it
Y aunque yo quiera que no me deje
And though I wish it would not leave me
Ella se aleja mientras yo grito
It moves away as I cry out
Quién me lo manda poner los ojos
Who told me to set my eyes
En una estrella del infinito
On a star that is so far away?
