No debi pensar jamás en lograr tu corazón y sin embargo te busqué hasta que un día te encontré, y con mis besos te aturdí sin importarme que eras buena... Tu ilusión fue de cristal, se rompió cuando partí, pues nunca, nunca más volví... ¡Que amarga fue tu pena! |
I never should have thought about winning your heart and all the same I looked for you until the day I found you, and I startled you with kisses without a care that you were true... Your hopes were made of crystal, they shattered when I left you never, never to return... How bitter was your heartbreak! |

"No te olvides de mi, de tu Gricel," me dijiste al besar el Cristo aquel, y hoy que vivo enloquecido porque no te olvidé ni te acuerdas de mi, ¡Gricel, Gricel! |
Don't forget about me, about your Gricel, you told me as you kissed the crucifix you wore, and now I'm living driven crazy because I can't forget you, and you don't remember me, Gricel, Gricel! |

Me falto después tu voz y el calor de tu mirar y como un loco te busqué pero ya nunca te encontré y en otros besos me aturdí... ¡Mi vida toda fue un engaño! ¿Que será, Gricel, de mi? Se cumplió la ley de Dios, porque sus culpas ya pago quien te hizo tanto daño. |
I came to miss your voice and the warmth within your eyes, and like a madman sought you out but never once could track you down and succumbed to other kisses... My entire life has been a fake! Gricel, what'll become of me? God's justice has been served, for now whoever does you wrong brings guilt upon my head. |
