Lyrics

Español

Te di todo lo más que pude darte Mi nombre, un hogar y un corazón, Tus ojos los veía en cualquier parte Vivía solamente para vos. Con lágrimas de sangre me pagaste No quiero recordar lo que pasó Dios quiera que no tenga que encontrarte Y darte la limosna de un perdón. Si con lágrimas de sangre Devolviste todo el bien que te ofrecí, Poca cosa fue el hogar donde viviste, Poca cosa el corazón que yo te di. A quién puede importarle mi vergüenza Si es que a vos, no te importó, Pero un día llorarás tu pena inmensa Con lágrimas de sangre, como he llorado yo. Ya dirás por ahí que no fui un santo Quién sabe en qué barriales me hundirás, Tendrás para adorarte... no sé cuántos... Irás barranca abajo una vez más. Ya sé que no te llegan mis reproches, Total, no te interesa el qué dirán, Dejame en el silencio de mi noche Más noble y más honrada que tu pan.

English · machine translation

I gave you all the most I could give you My name, a home and a heart, Your eyes I saw everywhere I lived only for you. With tears of blood you paid me back I don't want to remember what happened God willing I won't have to find you And give you the alms of forgiveness. If with tears of blood You returned all the good I offered you, Little was the home where you lived, Little was the heart I gave you. Who cares about my shame If it did not matter to you, But one day you will cry your immense sorrow With tears of blood, as I have wept. You'll already say that I was not a saint Who knows what slums you'll sink me in, You'll have to worship you... I don't know how many... You'll go down the ravine once more. I know that my reproaches don't reach you, You're not interested in what people will say, Leave me in the silence of my night Nobler and more honored than your bread.
