Amor De Loca Juventud Lyrics
Buena Vista Social Club
Lyrics
Mueren ya las ilusiones del ayer
Que sacié con lujurioso amor
Y mueren también con sus promesas crueles
La inspiración que un día te brindé
Con candor el alma entera yo le di
Pensando nuestro idilio consagrar
Sin pensar que ella lo que buscaba en mí
Era el amor de loca juventud
ENGLISH:
Dead are the dreams of days past
Which I fulfilled with lustful love
And dead is also with its cruel promises
The inspiration which once I offered her
Innocently I gave away my soul to her
Intending to consacrate our love
Without realizing that what she was looking for in me
Was the love of crazy youth
