Estaba llorando penas
I was crying over pains
Esas penas que tenía
Those pains that I had
Tristezas que me acompañan
Sorrows that accompany me
Tristezas que ya traía
Sorrows that I already had
Tristezas que van conmigo
Sorrows that go with me
Desde que yo fui pequeño
Ever since I was little
Lo bueno era de algún otro
The good was someone else’s
Lo bueno tenía otro dueño
The good had another owner
Y en medio de la corriente
And in the middle of the current
La corriente de aquel río
The current of that river
Ahoga mi sufrimiento
My suffering drowns
Mi corazón mal herido
My heart badly wounded
De pronto tocó mi mano
Suddenly my hand touched
Una flor muy delicada
A very delicate flower
Que me devolvía la vida
That gave my life back to me
Mientras se mecía en el agua
While it was swaying in the water
Yo quedé muy lastimado
I remained very hurt
Por amores que han pasado
For loves that have passed
Provocando mí sufrir
Causing me to suffer
Y ahora mi pena
And now my pain
La corriente se la lleva
The current makes off with it
Que se vaya
Would that it would go away
Que no vuelva
Would that it would not return
Yo ya quiero ser feliz
Now I want to be happy
Yo quedé muy lastimado
I remained very hurt
Por amores que han pasado
For loves that have passed
Provocando mí sufrir
Causing me to suffer
Y ahora mi pena
And now my pain
La corriente se la lleva
The current makes off with it
Que se vaya
Would that it would go away
Que no vuelva
Would that it would not return
Yo ya quiero ser feliz
