Casi, casi

Almost, almost loved you,
almost loved you back.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.

If it weren’t for the almost, almost,
almost would’ve married you.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.

The handkerchief you gave me
stayed stuck on the branch.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.

A strong whirlwind came
and took everything away.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.

A little bottle drawn
filled with scented water.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.

Loving you meant nothing,
leaving you was a pain.
Don’t cry, girl, don’t cry, no.
