Tengo Mucho Miedo                                     I Am So Afraid

Copyright by Nephtalí  De León

 

 

Tengo mucho miedo                                                          I am so afraid

que un día no me quieras                                                   that some day

                             you will not love me

 

que algún día tus ojos                                                        that some day your eyes

no quemen los míos                                                           will never burn mine

 

que nunca en tu pelo                                                          that not in your hair

yo enjuague mi cara                                                           will I rinse my face

 

tengo mucho miedo                                                           I am so afraid

 

tengo mucho miedo                                                           I am so afraid

que mueran las flores                                                         for the flowers to die

 

que tú te me vayas                                                             that you may just leave

y muera la noche                                                                and the evening die

 

que la fresca plata                                                             that I will not see

no vea yo en tus ojos                                                         in your eyes the cool silver

 

tengo mucho miedo                                                            I am so afraid

 

que un dia no me quieras                                                    that you will not love me
