The Love That Broke My Heart

Let's have the blues, please.

God gave me a heart to search for love.

Someone came to me out of the blue.

I saw a Spanish girl walking alone in the rain.

The water was bouncing on her pretty face.

Her natural beauty attracted my eyes.

I offered to share my umbrella with her.

She expressed her gratitude to me for my kindness.

We hurried across the road together.

I felt the affection coming for her heart.

And I found love for the first time in my life.

But she came into my world to break my heart.

I was so anxious to meet a girl before she came.

And I shed many tears when she left me.

I loved her more than anyone could ever love her,

But I could not force her to stay with me.

Though I tried, I could not convince her.

I lost my sweet girlfriend because of my bêtise.

The grief of losing her is so unbearable.

It was a misfortune to love her and lose her,

But it was definitely worth the failure.

I cannot narrate the sadness that I am feeling.

How I miss the love that broke my heart.

It was a good experience to fall in love with her.

Love was joyous and delightful at the start,

But in the end, it brought sorrow and pain.

Now I still think about the day I met her.

I remember the chill and the big drops of rain.

She laughed when I mentioned her funny shoes.

My beloved is no longer a part of my life.

All I have is a cherished photograph of her.

I knew that my happiness would end someday,

But I did not expect to lose her so quickly.

Why did love do such a cruel thing to my heart?
