Escuché las golondrinas [English translation]

I heard "The swallows" when I left,

It was simple coincidence of destiny.

There were moments that I wanted to quit,

Forgive her and return for her affections;

But I was able to put myself before my cowardice

And though sad, I kept going on my way.

With a lump in my throat because of my sorrows

I ended up in a corner of a bar

To let loose my sadness

With songs and tequila bottles;

And in spite of the constant drunkenesses

I feel in me the disastrous good bye.

That's why when I hear "The swallows"

Makes me remember those days;

There are disastrous moments in life

And that piece is among mine.

My soul is over a sea of feelings:

My wounds haven't healed yet.

That radio played in the worst moment

The song that embitters most the good byes.

To reject whom I loved for so long

I know I'm going to regret it for as long as I live.

That's why when I hear "The swallows"

Makes me remember those days;

There are disastrous moments in life

And that piece is among mine.
