Blanca Luz / Mi Pobreza

One morning
In springtime
When the sun
Was shining bright

Another morning
Cool and serene
Was when I saw
You, so beautiful

Today, as fate
Pulls you away from me
After you were
My white light

My verses will be
My dried flowers
That you’ll lay
On my sad grave

When everything
Has come to an end
When forgetfulness
Comes for you

When you have
Another lover, oh!
Don’t forget
That I loved you

I know you look down on me, woman
For my poverty
And I know you’re saying
I’m not worthy of your love

But don’t get too comfortable
Because in life, you’ll cry
Love doesn’t just come
The way you want it to

What do I care
If you look down on my life?
What do I care
If I’m happy in my poverty?

I’ve loved you, woman
I’ve loved you
But today, I’ve come to look down on you.
