The Love That Broke My Heart
(New version)
God gave me a heart to search for love,
But I was living without a lover for a long time.
One day someone came to me unexpectedly.
I saw a Spanish girl walking alone in the rain.
Her natural beauty attracted my eyes.
The raindrops were bouncing off her pretty face.
I offered to share my large umbrella with her.
She expressed her gratitude to me for my kindness.
And we hurried across the road together.
I felt the affection coming for her heart.
For the first time in my life, I found love.
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 not to go.
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 the failure was definitely worth it.
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 raindrops.
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 it so quickly.
Why did love do such a cruel thing to my heart?
(Original version)
God gave me a heart to fall in love with a girl,
But I was living without a lover for a long time.
I looked on the sidewalk, and suddenly there was someone.
A Spanish girl was standing alone in the rain.
Her natural beauty caught my attention.
The raindrops were bouncing off her pretty face.
I offered to share my large umbrella with her.
She expressed her gratitude to me for my kindness,
And we hurriedly crossed the street together.
I felt the energy of love all around me.
For the first time in my life, I found love,
But it was a love that came to break my heart.
I was so eager to meet a girl before she arrived.
And when she left me, I shed many tears.
I loved her more than anyone could ever love,
But I couldn’t force her to her stay with me.
Though I tried, I couldn’t convince her not to go.
I lost the only good thing I had because of my ignorance.
The pain of losing her is so unbearable.
I loved and lost, but it was definitely worth the failure.
How can I undo the sadness that has overwhelmed me?
I wish I could get back the love that broke my heart.
In the beginning, love is full of sweetness and kindness,
But in the end, it brings so much bitterness.
I remember the chill and the big raindrops.
And I still think about the day I met her.
She smiled when I mentioned her funny shoes.
Falling in love with her was a great experience,
Even though she’s no longer a part of my life.
I only have one cherished photograph of my beloved.
I knew that my happiness would end someday,
But I didn’t want to lose it so quickly.
Why did love do such a cruel thing to my heart?
