Lyrics

Español

Fue en el puerto que te hallé Ya sin fe ni valor, En la densa oscuridad De una noche cruel, Como un barco anclado, Triste y desolado, Y en tu gris mirada Huellas del pasado. Sin saber quién eras vos Te brindé un hogar, Donde al fin hallaste Amor, ternura y paz. ¿Cuándo podrás pagarme, algún día, lo que humilde te ofrecía y que tanto me costaba? Grito porque mi alma se espanta, Y la fe se me quebranta Al sentirse defraudada. Nunca, pensé que al ver mi pobreza, Por delirios de grandezas Vos te ibas a alejar. Ya no existe más amor Pa’ querer vivir. Y hasta el puerto sin pensar Arrastré mi mal. Y él me ha comprendido Sabe que he traído, Rabia, mucha rabia Y mi amor herido. No me amarga tu querer ¡Tan pa’ l mal! Más amargo es comprender La realidad...

English · machine translation

It was at the port that I found you Already without faith or courage, In the dense darkness Of a cruel night, Like a ship at anchor, Sad and desolate, And in your gray gaze Traces of the past. Without knowing who you were I gave you a home, Where at last you found Love, tenderness and peace. When will you be able to repay me, someday, what I humbly offered you and that cost me so much? I cry out because my soul is frightened, And my faith is broken Feeling defrauded. Never, I thought that seeing my poverty, Because of delusions of grandeur You would turn away. There is no more love To want to live. And to the port without thinking I dragged my evil. And he has understood me He knows that I have brought, Rage, a lot of rage And my wounded love. I'm not bitter about your love So bitter! More bitter is to understand The reality...
