Esta noche, mejor dicho, cuando llegue medianoche, mis amigos, yo festejo la tristeza de mi alma; brindaremos por la dueña de los ojos más hermosos, por mi vida, por mis sueños, porque quiero ahogar los sueños de mi vida sin amor. |
When tonight's here, or let me say as soon as midnight comes upon us, friends, I promise, I'll be drinking off the sadness in my soul; we'll be toasting to the mistress of the most bewitching eyes, to my life then, to my dreaming, because it's time I drowned that dreaming since I'm fallen out of love. |

Yo no quiero recordarla, para que voy a llorarla si ya todo lo he perdido... Esto digo muchas veces pero entonces se aparece frente a mi como un castigo: y me mira desde el fondo de una sombra y me vence... porque el alma me la nombra. Como quieren mis amigos que la arranque de mi vida si no la puedo olvidar! |
I don't want her on my mind now; why, if she's not even mine now, should I cry and cry the more? Time and time again I say this, but then her apparition ranges like a punishment before me: and from beneath a shadow's depth she looks upon me, and as I think her name the chains are on me... How my buddies want to take her and uproot her from my life since I'm unable to move on! |

Muchos años a su lado yo vivi para quererla y bastaron unas horas nada más para perderla. Ya no tengo ni una lagrima de amor y son testigos que esta noche, mis amigos, vengo a ahogar en unas copas a mi vida sin amor. |
Years and years was I living at her side just to pursue her, and all it needed was a couple hours, nothing more, to lose her... I no longer have any tears of love: tonight it ends, and with you as my witness, my friends, line 'em up and let me drown the me that's fallen out of love. |
