Un Pedazo de Luna
José Alfredo Jiménez
A Piece of Moon
A piece of moon
We only had,
In the night of love
That you and I lived,
When we loved each other the most.
A piece of moon
Like a lost thing,
In the sky of a town,
Of a lifeless land
That we discovered that day.
We couldn't then
Hide our kisses,
Nor could we either,
Despite the affection,
Impose our pride.
A tree in the field
Was our only roof,
But oblivious to all,
We felt like the owners
Of life and the world.
Today I can buy you
A piece of sea
And a complete moon,
And I can swear to you
That you won't be
So truly happy again.
A piece of moon
We only had,
In the night of love
That you and I lived,
When we loved each other the most.
A piece of moon
That filled our lives,
With a true love
Under the sky of the world
That we discovered that day.
A piece of moon.
