Cuando El Amor Se Vá
Los Chalchaleros
When Love Goes Away
How painful is the thought
that you don't love me anymore!
Like leaves in the wind,
your affection goes away, goes away.
Your gaze always absent,
I can't rescue it.
You don't deceive me, nor lie to me:
your affection goes away, goes away.
I can't stop love,
like nobody stops life.
Summer swallow
leaves my hand; goes away, goes away.
Who could have the power
to manage to stop
the love that goes away; goes away?
You were all my dream;
you no longer want to be that.
Like water that goes to the river,
your affection goes away; goes away.
There are no chains for love
that can hold it:
just foam, just sand,
that slips away; goes away; goes away.
