Y Sin Embargo Te Quiero
Rocío Jurado
And Yet I Love You
They told me a thousand times but I never wanted to pay attention
When the tears came, you were already deep inside my heart
I waited for you until very late,
I didn't make any reproach,
The most I asked you
was if you loved me
And under your kisses, in the early morning,
without you noticing the weight of my anguish,
I used to sing
"I love you more than my eyes
I love you more than my life
More than the air I breathe
and more than my own mother"
"May my heart stop if I stop loving you
May the bells toll if I ever fail you"
"You are my life and my death,
I swear it, my companion
I shouldn't love you, I shouldn't love you,
and yet I love you"
You live with others and you don't care about my loneliness
You know you have a son and you don't even bother to visit him
Crying next to the cradle
The first light of day comes to me
My child doesn't have a father
What a pity of my luck
Come on, King of Spain, let's go to sleep
and, without realizing it, instead of a lullaby,
I sing to him like this
"I love you more than my eyes
I love you more than my life
More than the air I breathe
and more than my own mother"
"May my heart stop if I stop loving you
May the bells toll if I ever fail you"
"You are my life and my death,
I swear it, my companion
I shouldn't love you, I shouldn't love you,
and yet I love you"
