Hoy la vi - Haydee Milanes, Pablo Milanés

Hoy la vi

Y tenía un rostro ajeno al que yo amaba;

El que dan

Unos años de no ser feliz

Hoy la vi

Y recordé la historia de un pedazo de mi vida

En que abrí

La primavera bruta de mis años al amor

Hoy la vi

Y tenía un rostro ajeno al que yo amaba;

El que dan

Unos años de no ser feliz

Junto a ti, mi futuro de sueños llené

Logré identificar tu belleza y el mundo al revés;

Nos miraban de muy buena fe

Nada cruel existía, si yo te veía, reía después

Desperté la mañana en que no pudo ser

No sin antes jurar que si no era contigo, jamás

Que esta herida me habría de matar

Y heme aquí, ¡qué destino!

Que ni el nombre tuyo pude recordar

Hoy la vi

Y tenía un rostro ajeno al que yo amaba;

El que dan

Unos años de no ser feliz

I saw her today

And she had a face foreign to the one I loved;

the one they give

A few years of not being happy

I saw her today

And I remembered the story of a piece of my life

in which I opened

The raw spring of my years to love

I saw her today

And he had a face foreign to the one I loved;

the one they give

A few years of not being happy

Together with you, I filled my future with dreams

I managed to identify your beauty and the world upside down;

They looked at us in good faith

Nothing cruel existed, if I saw you, I would laugh later

I woke up the morning it couldn't be

Not without first swearing that if it wasn't with you, never

That this wound would kill me

And here I am, what a destiny!

That I couldn't even remember your name

I saw her today

And he had a face foreign to the one I loved;

the one they give

A few years of not being happy
