YO ME PREGUNTO By THE VALRAYS

The Valrays were a white doo-wop group from New York. This charming 1964 single was their biggest hit. Apparently the group just preferred the sound of this song in Spanish (their other songs were in English). I’d be interested to hear more doo-wop in Spanish – especially any groups from Spain.

YO ME PREGUNTO Yo me pregunto En que pensaras me pregunto la fiesta con quién me pregunto ¿Esta noche que harás? Yo me pregunto Si triste tu estás me pregunto Si lloras también me pregunto ¿Esta noche que harás? Yo me pregunto Por qué nos separamos Y si supieras cuanto te adoro vuelve mi alma ¿Por qué dudamos? Yo me pregunto Si en otro pensarás me pregunto si yo quieres también me pregunto ¿Esta noche que harás?

I WONDER I wonder What you’re thinking about I wonder Who you’re with at the party I wonder What will you do tonight? I wonder If you’re sad I wonder If you’re crying too I wonder What will you do tonight? I wonder Why we split up And if you know How much I adore you Come back my love Why are we hesitating? I wonder Are you thinking about someone else I wonder If you love me too I wonder What will you do tonight?

GRAMMAR:
Yo me pregunto means literally ‘I ask myself’
but I think ‘I wonder’ is a better translation.

Unsurprisingly, the grammar isn’t perfect in the original lyrics!
For example ‘Si yo quieres’ should be ‘Si me quieres’.
