Rara,
como encendida,
te halle bebiendo,
linda y fatal;
bebias,
y en el fragor del champan
loca reias,
por no llorar...
Pena
me dio encontrarte
pues al mirarte
yo vi brillar
tus ojos
con un electrico ardor,
tus bellos ojos
que tanto adore.

Esta noche, amiga mia,
con alcohol nos embriagamos;
que me importa que se rian
y nos llamen los mareados.
Cada cual tiene sus penas
y nosotros las tenemos.
Esta noche beberemos
porque ya no volveremos
a vernos mas...

Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado,
en el pasado de mi vida.
Tres cosas lleva mi alma herida:
Amor, Pesar, Dolor.
Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado,
hoy nuevas sendas tomaremos.
Que grande ha sido nuestro amor
y, sin embargo, ay,
mira lo que quedo!

Strange,
as if lit up,
I found you drinking,
pretty and ill fated;
You were drinking,
and in the din of the champagne
crazily you laughed,
so as not to cry...
Pity
I felt at finding you
because looking at you
I saw your eyes
shine
with an electric fire,
your beautiful eyes
that I adored so much.

Tonight, my friend,
with alcohol we're getting drunk;
I don't care if they laugh
and call us "tipsy."
Everyone has their sorrows
and we have ours.
Tonight we will drink
because we won't ever
see each other again...

Today you will enter my past,
in the past of my life.
Three things bears my wounded soul:
Love, Regret, Pain.
Today you'll enter my past,
today we'll follow new paths.
How great our love has been
and, yet, ouch,
look what's left!
