Here is the traslation

When he looks for me I'll be far away

When he misses me I will have learned to fly

When he looked at me I will have grown old

¿Why I cry, if your skin doen’t let me mix  your white and your blond eyes with my black skin?

I am, who has seen you grow
I am, who couldn’t  ask why you go

When he loves me will have been too late

Damn coward because you fear a color

I know you love me. There is fire in your eyes and warmth in your words

I will always be your mulatta. I will always be your slave, but I'll never be your loving wife

I am, who has seen you grow
I am, who couldn’t ask why you go

When you understand it will be late

I don`t know where I will be when you regret

My life is in your hands but I gift it for you

And the day you understand we will share blame

Me, because I'm different

and you, because you don`t want to be looked bad

I will always open your way

I looked at you since we were kids

I'm at your service every day

I’m,  but I never be
