A very old friend came by today A very old friend came by today Un viejo amigo vino hoy a verme 'Cause he was telling everyone in town 'Cause he was telling everyone in town Porque estaba contándole a todos en el pueblo About the love that he just found About the love that he just found Sobre el amor que acababa de encontrar And Marie's the name of his latest flame And Marie's the name of his latest flame Y María es el nombre de su nuevo amor He talked and talked ane I heard him say He talked and talked ane I heard him say That she had the longest blackest hair That she had the longest blackest hair Él hablaba y hablaba y yo le oía decir The prettiest green eyes anywhere The prettiest green eyes anywhere Que ella tenía el pelo más negro y más largo And Marie's the name of his latest flame And Marie's the name of his latest flame Y los ojos verdes más bonitos que puedan existir en ninguna parte Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning Y María es el nombre de su nuevo amor I wished him luck and then he said goodbye I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning He was gone but still his words kept returning Aunque yo sonreía las lágrimas ardían en mi interior What else was there for me to do but cry? What else was there for me to do but cry? Le deseé suerte y entonces él se despidió Would you believe that yesterday Would you believe that yesterday Él se había marchado ya pero sus palabras seguían resonando This girl was in my arms and swore to me This girl was in my arms and swore to me Que otra cosa podía hacer sino echarme a llorar She'd be mine eternally? She'd be mine eternally? And Marie's the name of his latest flame And Marie's the name of his latest flame Te creerías que ayer Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning Esta chica estaba en mis brazos y me juraba I wished him luck and then he said goodbye I wished him luck and then he said goodbye Que sería eternamente mía He was gone but still his words kept returning He was gone but still his words kept returning Y María es el nombre de su nuevo amor What else was there for me to do but cry? What else was there for me to do but cry? Would you believe that yesterday Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me This girl was in my arms and swore to me She'd be mine eternally? She'd be mine eternally?
