Te Quedó Grande Mi Cariño

(Sylvia & Salvador)
June, 2009
Music and Spanish Lyrics: Salvador Reyes, English translation: Sylvia Wagers

Although I gave you all the love within me, there is no real way to measure the intangible.  Your feelings for me were not as deep or true as mine were for you.

14) Te Quedo Grande Mi Carino  (Too Big For You)

I started to balance the account,
Clearly, and in writing,
To add up all the good,
And subtract all the bad
To see exactly why I’d lost

Well, I entered into the business
Of love eagerly, and with desire.
I invested warmth and shelter,
Many kisses and caresses
And sacrifices galore.

And today, my soul is empty,
And my heart is, too.
My love was simply too big for you,
And even though you knew it,
You didn’t want to match it with a love
That was equal to mine.

Even though I’m still in love with you
I cannot find any reason to return,
To forget the past, to measure out
My love more carefully...

The next time I go into the business of love,
It will be with much more caution,
And I will be very careful to spend my kisses
And caresses more wisely.

And today, my soul is empty,
And my heart is, too.
