Translation of the song Debes saber artist Charles Aznavour

Debes Saber (Il Faut Savoir)

You Must Know (It Is Necessary To Know)

Debes saber, dejar de sonreír,

You must know how to stop smiling,

Si la alegría se alejó,

If joy went away,

Te queda solo la tristeza,

Only sadness is left for you,

Y días de infelicidad.

And days of unhappiness.

Debes saber, que en esta angustia,

You must know that through this angst,

La dignidad hay que salvar,

One's dignity must be saved,

Aunque el dolor te sobrecoja,

Even if pain overwhelms you,

Debes marchar y no volver.

You have to leave and never return.

Ruega al destino que te abandona,

Beg to the destiny which abandons you,

Por piedad no me hagas sufrir,

Don't make me suffer, please,

Debes saber fingir el llanto,

You must pretend you're crying,

Y hundirlo en tu corazón.

And bury it in your heart.

Debes saber, a tiempo comprender,

You must know, understand in due time,

Cuando el amor se retiró,

When love has gone away,

Marcharse con indiferencia,

You must leave indifferently,

Aunque en silencio sufras tú.

Even if you suffer in silence.

Debes saber, ahogar la pena,

You must know how to drown your sorrow,

Y enmascarar el gran dolor,

And disguise your great pain,

Y retener el odio oculto,

And hold back hidden hatred,

Si en un infierno vives tú.

If you live in a hell.

Debes saber, quedar de hielo,

You must know how to stay like ice,

Si el rencor, quema la pasión,

If rancor burns passion,

Debes saber guardar el llanto,

You must know how to refrain from tears,

Y tanto la amo yo, que ya no puedo más.

And I love her so much, that I can't bear it anymore.

Debes saber que yo…

You must know that I...

Yo

I
