Lyrics
A mi me están sobrando las penas,
tal vez porque me lo tomo a pecho,
tal vez porque se que me desdeña
y queriendo como quiero
y esperando como espero
no he logrado que me quiera.
Me están sobrando las penas
y con penas duele más la soledad.

Suerte que tengo un corazón
hecho al rigor de cien esperas.
Si habré perdido esperanzas,
aguantado malas rachas
y si habré domado penas.
Mas yo se bien que no es vivir
andar así, siempre golpeado,
sin un cariño que alivie este sino
de andar esquivando el dolor.

A mi me están sobrando las penas
tal vez porque nunca tuve suerte,
tal vez porque siento a mi manera
y tal vez, y lo más cierto,
porque vivo padeciendo
por su amor, que se me niega.
Me están sobrando las penas
y con penas duele más la soledad.
English translation
I'm getting a lot of grief,
maybe because I take it to heart,
maybe because I know he disdains me
and loving as I want
and waiting as I hope
I have not been able to make him love me.
I'm having too many sorrows
and with sorrows loneliness hurts more.

Lucky that I have a heart
made to the rigor of a hundred waits.
If I have lost hope,
endured bad times
and if I have tamed sorrows.
But I know well that it is not living
to walk like this, always beaten,
without a love that alleviates this fate
to go about avoiding pain.

I've got plenty of sorrows to spare
maybe because I was never lucky,
maybe because I feel in my own way
and maybe, and most certainly,
because I live suffering
for his love, which is denied to me.
I'm having too many sorrows
and with sorrows loneliness hurts more.
