La Estrella De Jalisco
José Alfredo Jiménez
The Star of Jalisco
Even though I wanted to
I can't understand
I don't know, it's inexplicable
I searched for the most beautiful star
In the sky of Jalisco
And I gave it to you once
To lull you in the sway
Of Lake Chapala
While the blue moon
Enveloped us in its light
And dipped into the water
Because of your tremendous love
I could already expect
Death in your arms
I felt that little by little the sky
Was falling apart for me
And I saw you tremble
And your voice cracked
A bit passionate
And I gave you my love
As love is given
Without asking anything
But the night passed
And I was left crying
Crying over your abandonment
And I woke up in life
Surrounded by nothing
Completely alone
That's why you see it now
I can't understand
I don't know, it's inexplicable
I searched for the most beautiful star
In the sky of Jalisco
And I gave it to you once
And I lulled you in the sway
Of Lake Chapala
While the blue moon
Enveloped us in its light
And dipped into the water.
