Lyrics
Español
Las cadenas que te ataban a mi lado hoy las rompe mi conciencia al comprender que mis besos, mis caricias, te han cansado y he perdido para siempre tu querer. Aunque niegues diciendo: “Soy la misma”, yo comprendo que todo terminó. La verdad tan sólo quiero que me digas, aunque muera de dolor mi corazón. Será mejor para los dos separarnos de una vez. ¿Para qué vivir asi... Para qué? Vos soportando mis caricias y mis besos, yo comprendiendo que no es mío tu querer. ¿Por qué engañarnos y sufrir de este modo tan brutal? Yo no quiero soportar tu piedad. Aunque se rompa el corazón en mil pedazos gritame fuerte: ¡No te quiero más! No es culpable el corazón, si cualquier día, ha dejado de sentir una pasión. Es misterio incomprensible de la vida despreciar lo que se amó de corazón. Será tuyo mi amor hasta la muerte, tu cariño en cambio ya murió. Estas cosas son caprichos de la suerte, de la vida, del destino o qué se yo.

The chains that bound you to my side today my conscience breaks them when I realize that my kisses, my caresses, have tired you out and I have lost your love forever. Although you deny saying: "I am the same", I understand that everything is over. The truth I only want you to tell me, even if my heart dies of pain. It will be better for both of us to separate once and for all. Why live like this... What's the use? You putting up with my caresses and my kisses, me realizing that your love is not mine. Why deceive us and suffer in this brutal way? I don't want to bear your pity. Even if my heart breaks into a thousand pieces shout loudly to me: I love you no more! The heart is not guilty, if any day, it has ceased to feel a passion. It is an incomprehensible mystery of life to despise what was loved from the heart. My love will be yours until death, your affection on the other hand has already died. These things are whims of fate, of life, of destiny or what do I know.
