Paroles et traduction Susana Harp - Cachito de Retrato

Cachito de Retrato

Un día rompí el retrato que me hizo tanto mal
Y lo guardé celoso sin poderlo tirar
Sacaba un pedacito para pensar en ti
Nomás por la costumbre que tengo de sufrir

Cachito de retrato, cachito de mi amor
Cachito de tu boca, que tanto me besó
Cachito de tu pelo, tus ojos, tu nariz
De todo miro un poco sin verte nunca a ti

Un día que estaba triste te quise otra vez ver
Cachitos de retrato, con qué ansias los pegué
Para mayor tristeza, faltó en mi colección
La parte que formaba tu negro corazón

Cachito de retrato, cachito que amé yo
Cachito de tu boca, que tanto me mintió
Cachito de tu pelo, tus ojos, tu nariz
Pegado tu retrato, de nuevo lo rompí

A Piece of a Photo

One day, I destroyed the photograph that had hurt me so
And I jealously kept it, unable to throw it away
I would take out a little piece, to think about you
Simply because of my habit of tormenting myself

Little piece of a photo, little piece of my love
Little piece of your mouth, which kissed me so much
Little piece of your hair, your eyes, your nose
I see a bit of everything, yet I never see you

One day when I was sad, I wanted to see you again
Little pieces of the photograph, with what eagerness I glued them together
To increase my sadness, there was one piece missing from my collection
The one that made up your dark heart

Little piece of a photo, little piece that I had loved
Little piece of your mouth, which had lied to me so much
Little piece of your hair, your eyes, your nose
After gluing your photo together, I tore it up again
