The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Debes Saber" by Charles Aznavour.

Lyrics

Debes saber dejar de sonreír
Si la alegría se alejó
Te queda solo la tristeza
Y días de infelicidad
Debes saber
Que en esta angustia
La dignidad hay que salvar
Aunque el dolor te sobrecoja
Debes marchar y no volver
Ruega al destino que te abandona
Por piedad, no me hagas sufrir
Debes saber fingir el llanto
Y hundirlo en tu corazón
Debes saber
A tiempo comprender
Cuando el amor se retiró
Marcharse con indiferencia
Aunque en silencio sufras tú
Debes saber, ahogar la pena
Y enmascarar el gran dolor
Y retener el odio oculto
Si en un infierno vives tú
Debes saber quedar de hielo
Si el rencor quema la pasión
Debes saber
Guardar el llanto
Y tanto lo hago yo
Que ya no puedo más
Debes saber que yo
Yo no lo sé…

Lyrics translation

You must know how to stop smiling
If the joy went away
All you have left is sadness
And days of unhappiness
You should know
That in this anguish
Dignity must be saved
Even if the pain overwhelms you
You must leave and not return
Pray to fate that abandons you
Out of pity, don't make me suffer
You must know how to pretend to cry
And sink it into your heart
You should know
In time to understand
When love retreated
Leave with indifference
Though in silence you suffer
You should know, drown the pain
And mask the great pain
And hold back the hidden hatred
If you live in hell
You must know how to stay on ice
If resentment burns passion
You should know
Save the cry
And so do I.
That I can't anymore
You must know that I
I don't know.…
