Tenía una guitarra [English translation]

I had a guitar,

I had a dream,

She had so much life,

There was so much of her love.

She was like that tree,

that is waiting for its greenness.

I had a guitar,

I had a dream.

Tell them, my guitar,

That you know about my pain,

When I used to walk through life

Without affection and without love.

I will tell them, that in my sadness,

When nobody listened to me,

She was the force that encouraged

My pitiful heart.

I had a guitar,

But yesterday she sounded no more.

Her music stays in me,

But my guitar is silent.

Her music stays in me,

But my guitar is silent.
