Lyrics

Español

Cicatrices incurables de una herida que me ha causado la vida en su triste batallar. Cicatrices que ya no se cierran nunca porque llevan siempre trunca la esperanza de curar. La quería eternamente pero ella fue perjura y llenó de honda amargura y de pena mi ilusión. Y es por eso que ahora vivo siempre a golpes con la suerte y sólo quiero la muerte para mi angustiado y pobre corazón. En la cara también luzco con orgullo un recuerdo que es muy tuyo y que llevo por mi mal. Un recuerdo que me hicieron en tu nombre cuando yo jugué como hombre con la vida del rival. Cicatrices imborrables de un tormentoso pasado que la suerte me ha brindado y que nunca perderé. Cicatrices de mi vida que, aunque no tienen encanto, yo las quiero tanto y tanto que jamás, jamás ya nunca olvidaré.

English · machine translation

Scars incurable scars of a wound that life has caused me in its sad battle. Scars that will never close because they always carry truncated the hope of healing. I loved her forever but she was perjured and filled with deep bitterness and of sorrow my illusion. And that is why now I live always in a battle with luck and I only want death for my anguished and poor heart. On my face I also wear with pride a memory that is very much yours and that I carry for my pain. A souvenir that was made for me in your name when I played as a man with the life of the rival. Indelible scars of a stormy past that luck has given me and that I will never lose. Scars of my life that, although they have no charm I love them so much and so much that I will never, ever, ever forget.
