Ay caridad [English translation]

I saw you crossing the plaza

and I don't know what you gave me.

I saw you crossing the plaza,

and you drove me crazy so much

that I don't think in another thing

but the fire you lit.

Oh, Caridad, you're my life.

Oh, Caridad of my passion

Oh, Caridad, you will leave

my heart for the love of God.

My morning searched for you

when I was dreaming awake.

My morning searched for you.

And when it found you I find out

you will marry tomorrow

with my best friend.

Oh, Caridad, you're my life.

Oh, Caridad of my passion

Oh, Caridad, you will leave

my heart for the love of God.

I'll have to get away from you

even if I leave what I love.

I'll have to get away from you,

because I'm a calm man

and I can't stain myself

with betraying loves.

Oh, Caridad, you're my life.

Oh, Caridad of my passion

Oh, Caridad, you will leave

my heart for the love of God.

Because I'm a prudent man

and you're a honest woman.

Because I'm a prudent man.

The one who's a real friend

I cannot betray him,

for the blood of my veins.

Oh, Caridad, you're my life.

Oh, Caridad of my passion

Oh, Caridad, you will leave

my heart for the love of God.

Oh, Caridad, you're my life.

Oh, Caridad of my passion

Oh, Caridad, you will leave

my heart for the love of God.

Oh, Caridad, you will leave

my heart for the love of God.
