Lyrics

Español

Cuando te encuentro, ruego que no mires,que tu mirada me aviva el dolor;seguí tu camino, tu senda florida,dejá que mi vida prosiga sin vos;no sea que un día me encuentre entre copasy tire por el suelo mi hombría y mi honor.Yo... por vos hice trizas...mi paz, mi hogar y mi fe...Hoy... sólo quedan cenizasde todo lo que ayer fue;yo soñé un mundo de amor y de esperanzala noche que entre besos te pude llamar mía,maldigo ahora del fondo de mi almala ilusión lejana que tu boca mintió.Me has hecho daño, mi vida siempre ha sidojuguete tuyo, pasión y dolor;ya no quiero verte, quisiera olvidarte,matar mi cariño tras otra ilusión;no sea que un día me encuentre entre copasy tire por el suelo mi hombría y mi honor.

English · machine translation

When I meet you, I beg you not to look,because your gaze makes me ache;follow your path, your flowery path,let my life go on without you;lest one day I find myself among glassesand throw my manhood and my honor to the ground.I... for you I have shattered...my peace, my home and my faith...Today... only ashes remainof all that yesterday was;I dreamed of a world of love and hope...the night that between kisses I could call you mine,I curse now from the bottom of my soulthe distant illusion that your mouth lied.You have hurt me, my life has always been your toyyour toy, passion and pain;I don't want to see you anymore, I'd like to forget you,to kill my affection behind another illusion;lest one day I find myself between drinksand throw my manhood and my honor to the ground.
