Lyrics

Español

Por qué padecer así Que tenga que vivir Detrás de tus mentiras. Si sólo quiero yo Y vos me tolerás De puro arrepentida. Mas, no poder, sin ti, amor Si me engañás y yo lo sé, Y vivo igual, sin traicionar Por qué, por qué será. Por qué ha de ser así Que tenga que vivir, Pidiéndote que mientas más. Si dices la verdad, La triste y cruel verdad, Me matarás.

English · machine translation

Why suffer like this That I have to live Behind your lies. If I'm all I want And you tolerate me In pure repentance. But, I can't, without you, love If you deceive me and I know it, And I live the same, without betraying Why, why, why should it be. Why should it be so That I have to live, Asking you to lie more. If you tell the truth, The sad and cruel truth, You'll kill me.
