A Una Señora

When life wants it
that we meet again
within a few days
or after many years.

I give you my word
that I won't bother you
if you're with someone
not even to greet you.

When destiny wants
to confront us again
in front of the
indiscreet eyes of people.

I love her so much, so much
that's why I promise her
that no one from my mouth
will know our secret.

And if you see me pass by
and don't speak to me
go to sleep peacefully
I won't say a word.

What can I say
if you ignore me
first of all
you are a lady.

There were many women
who brightened my path
then I made fun
of what they call destiny.

There were many loves
and I suffered nothing for anyone
today look at me suffering
for love of a married woman.

It remains a secret
that one night you wanted me
when you're absent from your home
inventing an excuse
and you left mine
when dawn arrived
that's when you said
please don't say anything.

And if you see me pass by...
