LOVE'S UNKIND
(Summer/Moroder/Bellote, 1977)

Remember light thoughts in the 50's and 60's and pony tails and highschool sweaters?
Well, those were the good days

Well, I see him in the morning in the schoolyard
For the school bell rings
And when he passes in the hallway
Well, he doesn't even notice me

He's got a crush on my best friend
But she don't care
'Cause she loves someone else
Well, I'm standing on the outside
Not the inside where I wanna be

Love's unkind
Love's unkind
Love's unkind
Love's unkind
And he's not mine

Just the other day I was praying he would give me a chance
And choose me for his partner in a good old high school dance
We were standing outside the class
But it wasn't me
But my best friend he asked
I went running back inside teary-eyed
And left the two of them behind

Love's unkind
Love's unkind
Love's unkind
Love's unkind
'Cause he's not mine

My momma told me
All about love
She said
Love's unkind
Of course it is

 

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


EL AMOR ES CRUEL
(Summer/Moroder/Bellote, 1977)

¿Recuerdan los pensamientos ligeros de los 50 y 60 y las colas de caballo y los sueters de instituto?
Bien, aquellos eran los buenos tiempos

Bien, le veo por la mañana en el jardín del colegio Al sonar la campana del colegio
Y cuando pasa por el vestíbulo
Bien, ni siquiera se fija en mí

Él está chiflado por mi mejor amiga
Pero a ella le da igual
Porque ella quiere a otro
Bien, estoy fuera
No dentro que es donde quiero estar

El amor es cruel
El amor es cruel
El amor es cruel
El amor es cruel
Y él no es mío

El otro día rezaba por que me diera una oportunidad
Y me eligiera como pareja en un buen viejo baile de instituto
Estábamos fuera de la clase
Pero no fue a mí
Sino a mi mejor amiga a quien se lo pidió
Entré corriendo de vuelta con lágrimas en los ojos 
Y les dejé a los dos atrás

El amor es cruel
El amor es cruel
El amor es cruel
El amor es cruel
Porque él no es mío

Mi mamá me lo contó
Todo sobre el amor
Me dijo que
El amor es cruel
Claro que lo es
