Saber Cuando Parar (Candombe I)

I don't know how many things can be found
In the left eye of a person, but I know
That in your lips I could find
Endless love, and it drove me crazy

I don't know how many roses have been given to you already
But I still have hope to know
That of all those roses you received
None were made of paper

And my jealous heart condemns you
When you tell your story
It never knew glory
In matters of love

And I know I'll never forget your voice
Even if I lose my memory
Approaching victory
Satisfies a loser

And I'll have to let you go
I know I'll regret it
But I tell you, my love
You have to know when to stop

Don't be sad, my heart
The sun won't shine
Stay calm, there will be
Time to dance

I don't know how many angels want to help you
But I hope none will be able
To undress you, not physically but spiritually
Enjoy that pleasure

And truth be told, I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
I was never much of a gambler
A hunch tells me
It's time to pay

And the worst part is that these days I'm broke
I don't have a penny to give
I want to save the tears
For my final judgment

And when your cigarette burns endlessly
You'll always hear my voice
And then you'll realize
You have to know when to stop

Don't be sad, my heart
