La Retirada [English translation]

The distance between us is greater every day

Of your love and my love nothing remains

Still my heart doesn’t want to resign itself

To hear the sad good-bye that would be your withdrawal

When you will have gone then a piece of my life (will be gone)

If I stood the loneliness remember me a little

For I knew how to love you straight without lies

And I’m going to remember you very fondly, God knows

Leave me something to remember you by

A tear and a kiss

And a little bit of your hair

Of me don’t take away anything

Because you already have everything

I am yours, only yours

The distance between us is greater every day

Of your love and my love nothing remains

Still my heart doesn’t want to resign itself

To hear the sad good-bye that would be your withdrawal
