Lyrics

Español

Porque escondo este cariño, como un loco apasionado Es que salgo por las calles y en su negra soledad, Me pregunto: Alma mía... Vida mía... ¿Qué ha pasado? Que no estás más a mi lado y no sé encontrarte más. Y si arden los deseos de este amor atormentado Me refugio en la bohemia... y entre copas sé cantar, Pero nadie... nadie sabe, con qué celos he guardado Este amor desesperado que jamás podré olvidar. Luego a solas... Y de pie frente al espejo, Yo no sé a quien desprecio Si a mí mismo... si al alcohol. O a la vida... A la vida, que me cobra tanto precio Por un poco de cariño Que la vida me negó. Luego a solas... Y de pie frente al espejo, He llorado como un hombre... He llorado como un hombre, Por tu amor y por mi amor... Porque adoro cada hora de este amargo sufrimiento Es que quiero atormentarme y adorarte más y más, Y si paso por tu casa y en tu cuarto te presiento Me detengo algún momento por si escucho que llorás. Y si arden los deseos de este amor atormentado Me refugio en la bohemia... y entre copas sé cantar, Pero nadie... nadie sabe con qué celos he guardado Este amor desesperado que jamás podré olvidar.

English · machine translation

Because I hide this affection, like a passionate madman It is that I go out into the streets and in its black solitude, I ask myself: My soul... My life... What has happened? That you are no longer by my side and I don't know how to find you anymore. And if the desires of this tormented love burn... I take refuge in bohemia... and between drinks I know how to sing, But no one... no one knows, with what jealousy I have guarded This desperate love that I can never forget. Then alone... And standing in front of the mirror, I don't know whom I despise Whether it's myself... or alcohol... Or life... To life, that charges me so much price For a little affection That life denied me. Then alone... And standing in front of the mirror, I cried like a man... I cried like a man, For your love and for my love... Because I adore every hour of this bitter suffering Is that I want to torment myself and adore you more and more, And if I pass by your house and I feel you in your room. I stop for a moment in case I hear you cry. And if the desires of this tormented love are burning I take refuge in bohemia... and between drinks I know how to sing, But no one... no one knows with what jealousy I have guarded This desperate love that I will never be able to forget.
