written by Jose Luis Almada

Que pena de las palabras que se callaron
Y aquellas que pronunciadas, estan perdidas
Que pena de primavera sin flor ni canto,

Que pena de algun verano sin golondrinas

Que pena de algunos besos que no se han dado
Y aquellos labios dispuestos pero ya escondidos
Que pena de las estrellas que se apagaron
En medio de alguna noche mal encendida

Que pena de las promesas que se quedaron
Bailando con los recuerdos en una esquina
Que pena de los amantes que se dejaron
Sin darse siquiera un beso de despedida

Que pena de los amores que ya pasaron
Que pena de los amores que no existían
Que pena de los amores que me olvidaron
Que pena de los amores que se me olvidan

Love's Sorrows

What a pity that those words were never spoken
And those that were, have been lost
What a shame that spring had no flower and no song
How sad that summer had no swallows

What a pity that some kisses were not given
What a shame that those lips that were ready were hidden
How sad that some stars burned out
In the middle of a dark night

What a pity that those promises just lingered on
Dancing with memories in a corner
How sad that lovers parted
Without even a good-bye kiss

How sad that love has gone
How sad there is no love
How sad that I have been forgotten by those who once love me
How sad that I can't remember those that I once loved
