Song Text

Toda mi vida os amé
Si me ameys yo no lo sé.

Bien sé que teneys amor
al desamor y al olvido.
Sé que soy aborecido
ya que sabe el disfavor

Y por siempre hos amaré
Si me ameys yo no lo sé.

All of my life I have loved you
If you love me I do not know.

I know well you have love
for love and for forgetfulness.
I know I am abhorrent
now that disfavor knows it.

And for always I have loved you
if you love me I do not know.
