Lyrics
Español
Loca me llaman mis amigos, que sólo son testigos de mi liviano amor. Loca, ¿qué saben lo que siento, ni qué remordimiento se oculta en mi interior? Yo tengo, con alegrías, que disfrazar mi tristeza, y que hacen de mi cabeza las pesadillas huir. Yo tengo que ahogar en vino la pena que me devora. Cuando mi corazón llora, mis labios deben reír. Yo, si a un hombre lo desprecio, tengo que fingirle amores; y admiración, cuando es necio; y si es cobarde, temores. Yo que no he pertenecido al ambiente en que ahora estoy, he de olvidar lo que he sido y he de olvidar lo que soy. Loca me dicen mis amigos, que sólo son testigos de mi liviano amor. Loca, ¿qué saben lo que siento, ni qué remordimiento se oculta en mi interior? Allá muy lejos, muy lejos, donde el sol cae cada día, un tranquilo hogar había y en el hogar unos viejos. La vida y su encanto era una muchacha que huyó sin decirles dónde fuera, y esa muchacha soy yo. Hoy no existe ya la casa, hoy no existen ya los viejos hoy la muchacha muy lejos, sufriendo la vida pasa. Y al caer todos los días en aquella tierra el sol, caen con él mis alegrías y muere mi corazón.

Crazy my friends call me, who are only witnesses of my light love. Crazy, what do they know what I feel, nor what remorse is hidden inside me? I have, with joys to disguise my sadness, and that make from my head the nightmares flee. I have to drown in wine the sorrow that devours me. When my heart cries my lips must laugh. I, if I despise a man, I must pretend to love him; and admiration, when he is foolish; and if he is a coward, fears. I who have not belonged to the environment in which I am now, I must forget what I have been and I must forget what I am. My friends tell me I'm crazy, who are only witnesses of my light love. Crazy, what do they know what I feel, nor what remorse is hidden inside me? Far, far away, far away where the sun falls every day, there was a quiet home and in the home some old people. Life and its charm was a girl who ran away without telling them where she went, and that girl is me. Today the house no longer exists, today the old people no longer exist today the girl is far away, suffering life goes by. And as the sun sets every day on that land the sun my joys fall with it and my heart dies.
