This is the title of a very popular song and my good friend here in Guadalajara who sings and plays the guitar asked me if I could find the English lyrics. I would be grateful if someone could tell me where the English lyrics can be found on the Internet.

personal opinion
Sorry I did not understand your question before....
I would recommend your friend to understand the meaning of this great song and then.... re-invent or re-write it in English.... or simply learn how to sing it in Spanish. If he translates it, then he will destroy it!!! In my opinion, there is nothing nastier than listening to translated songs on the radio. As a good example, I can remember now the beautiful song "It's impossible" which was titled in Spanish as "Somos Novios" (We are sweet-hearts), by its author Armando Manzanero. Both lyrics have nothing to do with one another....
Hope this will help.
