Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

I found her diary underneath a treeEncontré su diario debajo de un árbol

And started reading all about meY comencé a leer todo sobre mí

The words she's written took me by surpriseLas palabras que había escrito me sorprendieron

You'd never read them in her eyesNunca las leerías en sus ojos

They said that she had foundDecían que ella había encontrado

The love she waited forEl amor que esperaba

Wouldn't you know it?¿No lo sabrías?

She wouldn't show itElla no lo mostraría

And when confronted with the writing thereY cuando se enfrentó a lo escrito allí

She simply pretended not to careSimplemente fingió no importarle

I passed it off as just in keeping withLo tomé como algo acorde con

Her usual disconcerting airSu habitual aire desconcertante

And though she tried to hideY aunque intentaba ocultar

The love that she deniedEl amor que negaba

Wouldn't you know it?¿No lo sabrías?

She wouldn't show itElla no lo mostraría

And as I go through my lifeY mientras sigo con mi vida

I will give to her, my wifeLe daré a ella, mi esposa

All the sweet things I can findTodas las cosas dulces que pueda encontrar

I found her diary underneath a treeEncontré su diario debajo de un árbol

And started reading all about meY comencé a leer todo sobre mí

The words began to stick and tears to flowLas palabras comenzaron a pegarse y las lágrimas a fluir

Her meaning now was clear to seeSu significado ahora era claro de ver

The love she waited forEl amor que esperaba

Was for someone else, not meEra para alguien más, no para mí

Wouldn't you know it?¿No lo sabrías?

She wouldn't show itElla no lo mostraría

And as I go through my lifeY mientras sigo con mi vida

I will wish for her, his wifeDesearé para ella, su esposa

All the sweet things she can findTodas las cosas dulces que pueda encontrar

All the sweet things they can findTodas las cosas dulces que puedan encontrar
