Lyrics
Español
Cada vez que te tengo en mis brazos, que miro tus ojos, que escucho tu voz, y que pienso en mi vida en pedazos el pago de todo lo que hago por vos, me pregunto: ¿ por qué no termino con tanta amargura, con tanto dolor?... Si a tu lado no tengo destino... ¿Por qué no me arranco del pecho este amor? ¿Por qué... si mentís una vez, si mentís otra vez y volvés a mentir?... ¿Por qué... yo te vuelvo a abrazar, yo te vuelvo a besar aunque me hagas sufrir? Yo sé que es tu amor una herida, que es la cruz de mi vida, y mi perdición... ¿Por qué me atormento por vos y mi angustia por vos es peor cada vez?... ¿Y por qué, con el alma en pedazos, me abrazo a tus brazos, si no me querés? Yo no puedo vivir como vivo... Lo sé, lo comprendo con toda razón, si a tu lado tan sólo recibo la amarga caricia de tu compasión... Sin embargo... ¿Por qué yo no grito que es toda mentira, mentira tu amor y por qué de tu amor necesito, si en él sólo encuentro martirio y dolor?

Every time I hold you in my arms, I look into your eyes, I hear your voice, and I think of my life in pieces the payment for everything I do for you, I ask myself: why don't I end with so much bitterness, so much pain.... If by your side I have no destiny... Why don't I tear this love from my breast? Why don't I... if you lie once, if you lie again and you lie again?... Why do I... I hug you again, I kiss you again even if you make me suffer? I know that your love is a wound, that it is the cross of my life, and my undoing... Why do I I torment myself for you and my anguish for you is worse every time... And why, with my soul in pieces, I embrace myself in your arms, if you don't love me? I can't live the way I live... I know it, I understand it with all reason, if at your side I only receive the bitter caress of your compassion... However... Why don't I cry out that your love is all a lie, a lie and why do I need your love if in it I find only martyrdom and pain?
