Nieves De Enero [English translation]

The moment has come

My sweet heart to have and honest talk

I have waited a long time to see if you would change

And now you won’t even look at me

At first you said that once

The snows of January were upon us

We would go pray to the virgin Mary and then get married

And that would be the first thing we did (after the January snows)

Well the snows of January are gone and

The May flowers have come

I’m sure you can tell I have tried to stay strong (macho)

And just put up with the bitter pain

Well now the flowers are gone and the winter is upon us

And you still won’t even look at me

And that is why we have to finally

Have an honest talk

At first you said that

When the January snows arrive

The first thing we’d do is go and pray to the Virgin Mary

And then get married

I can’t stand your lies anymore

Waiting is destroying me

I have watched the years go by and

I don’t want to die waiting

Well the snows of January are gone and

The May flowers have come

I’m sure you can tell I have tried to stay strong (macho)

And just put up with the bitter pain
