Lyrics

Español

La vida es tan extraña y es tan compleja, ya ves, quién lo diría, que estás aquí sin darme ni un reproche, sin lágrimas, sin quejas, pagándome con besos lo que te di... Pudieran esos labios gritar: ¡Canalla! Bramar por tus angustias, quebrar mi voz. Pero me quieres tanto que sigues junto a mí buscando con caricias mi salvación... ¡Ya lo ves! Vos sos la misma, todo es igual, te di mentiras a cambio de amor y la vida me dio mal por mal. Me anduve arrastrando por tantos caminos, mordiendo un recuerdo, soñando volver... ¡Ya lo ves! Vuelvo a encontrar en mi amor de ayer la pasión suave y serena, que en noches de ausencia con ansias busqué... No quiero que en tus ojos se junten penas, me duele que te quedes sufriendo aquí. Ya sé tus sacrificios, ya sé que sos muy buena, que no merezco nada que hagas por mí. Déjame que me muera, si es mi castigo, por todo el mal que un día le di a tu amor. Ya ves que, al fin de cuentas, mi vida fue peor, que pago con angustias mi desamor.

English · machine translation

Life is so strange and so complex, you see, who would have thought, that you're here without giving me a single reproach, without tears, without complaints, paying me back with kisses for what I gave you... Could those lips cry out: You scoundrel! They could roar for your anguish, break my voice. But you love me so much that you're still beside me looking for my salvation with caresses... You see! You are the same, everything is the same, I gave you lies in exchange for love and life gave me evil for evil. I crawled along so many roads, chewing on a memory, dreaming of coming back... You see! I find again in my love of yesterday the soft and serene passion that in nights of absence I anxiously searched for... I don't want your eyes to gather sorrows, it hurts me that you stay here suffering. I already know your sacrifices, I already know that you are very good, that I don't deserve anything you do for me. Let me die, if it's my punishment, for all the evil that one day I gave to your love. You see that, in the end, my life was worse, that I pay with anguish for my lack of love.
