Translation
January Snows*
At first you said that once
the first snow of January fell,
you'd go to the Virgen4 and we'd marry,
it would be the first thing you'd do.
But the first snow of January came and went
and May flowers came after,
see how I bear it all like a man
and I keep my bitter pain to myself.
The flowers withered and winter came
and you won't even face me.
It's for this reason that the time has come
to have an honest talk.
At first you said that once
the first snow of January fell,
you'd go to the Virgen and we'd marry,
it would be the first thing you'd do.
I can't bear your lies any longer,
waiting for you is tearing me apart,
watching how the years pass by;
I won't die waiting for you.
But the first snow of January came and went
and May flowers came after,
see how I bear it all like a man
and I keep my bitter pain to myself.
