Lyrics
Te vi cruzando la plaza
Y no se lo que me dije
Te vi cruzando la plaza
Y tanto me enloqueciste
Que en otra cosa no pienso
Que en el fuego que encendiste
ESTRIBILLO:
Ay Caridad, tú eres mi vida
Ay Caridad de mi pasión
Ay Caridad has de dejar
Por caridad mi corazón
Te busco en mi madrugada
Cuando soñaba despierto
Te busco en mi madrugada
Y al encontrarte me entero
Que has de casarte mañana
Con mi mejor compañero
(ESTRIBILLO)
De tu vera he de marcharme
Aunque deje lo que quiero
De tu vera he de marcharme
Porque soy un hombre entero
Y yo no quiero mancharme
Con amores traicioneros
(ESTRIBILLO)
Porque soy hombre sensato
Y tu una mujer honrada
Porque soy hombre sensato
Al que es amigo de veras
Yo no puedo traicionarlo
Por la sangre de mis venas
(ESTRIBILLO)
(ESTRIBILLO)
Ay Caridad has de dejar
Por caridad, mi corazón
Lyrics translation
I saw you crossing the square
And I don't know what I said to myself
I saw you crossing the square
And you drove me so crazy
That I don't think of anything else
That in the fire you lit
Chorus:
Oh charity, you are my life
Ay charity of my passion
Ay charity you must leave
For charity My heart
I'm looking for you in my early morning
When I dreamed awake
I'm looking for you in my early morning
And when I find you I find out
That you're getting married tomorrow
With my best partner
(Chorus)
From your vera I must leave
Even if I leave what I want
From your vera I must leave
Because I'm a whole man
And I don't want to get dirty
With treacherous loves
(Chorus)
Because I'm a sensible man
And you an honest woman
Because I'm a sensible man
The one who's really friends
I can't betray him.
By the blood of my veins
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Ay charity you must leave
For charity, My heart
