Lyrics
Aunque quisiera yo
No puedo comprender;
No sé, no me lo explico
Busqué la estrella más bonita
Del cielo de Jalisco
Y te la di una vez
Que te arrullé al vaivén
Del lago de Chapala
Mientras la luna azul
Nos envolvía en su luz
Y se metía en el agua
Por tu tremendo amor
Yo ya podía esperar
La muerte entre tus brazos
Sentí que poco a poco el cielo
Se me caía en pedazos
Y te mire temblar
Y se quebro tu voz
Un tanto apasionada
Y te entregué mi amor
Como se da el amor:
Sin preguntarte nada
Pero se fue la noche
Y me quede llorando
Llorando tu abandono;
Y amanecí en la vida
Alrededor de nada
Completamente solo
Por eso, ya lo vez
No puedo comprender;
No sé, no me lo explico
Busqué la estrella más bonita
Del cielo de Jalisco
Y te la dí una vez
Que te arrullé al vaivén
Del lago de Chapala
Mientras la luna azul
Nos envovlvía en su luz
Y se metía en el agua
Lyrics translation
Even if I wanted to
I can't understand;
I don't know, I don't explain.
I looked for the prettiest star
From the sky of Jalisco
And I gave it to you once
That I lulled you into the swing
Lake Chapala
While the blue moon
It enveloped us in its light
And he'd get in the water
For your tremendous love
I could wait.
Death in your arms
I felt that little by little the sky
I fell to pieces
And I watch you tremble
And your voice broke
A bit passionate
And I gave you my love
How love is given:
Without asking you anything
But the night was gone
And I stayed crying
Crying your abandonment;
And I dawned in life
Around nothing
Completely alone
That's why you've seen it.
I can't understand;
I don't know, I don't explain.
I looked for the prettiest star
From the sky of Jalisco
And I gave it to you once
That I lulled you into the swing
Lake Chapala
While the blue moon
It enveloped us in its light
And he'd get in the water
