Lyrics

Español

Para qué continuar si vivir es llorar. Mi corazón se encuentra mancillado porque el barro lo ha salpicado. Es mi afán, olvidar, nada más que olvidar que Dios me dio por nombre flores mustias, sólo angustia y soledad. Que soporté miserias y dolor en esta lucha cruel del hombre, si ayer nomás con lava una mujer burlándose manchó mi nombre. Y al buscar amistad, encontré falsedad, que solo hallé en cien bocas pintadas, carcajadas del carnaval. Solamente un milagro de amor me haría resucitar, si a mi alma que sus puertas cerró pudiera un alma llamar. Si a la nieve de mis penas dos manos buenas la borraran de mi. Sino será mejor morir. Mi juventud la empapo con alcohol quedando mi dolor en calma. Quién pensará que traigo al tambalear sereno el corazón y el alma. Para qué recordar, es mejor olvidar que siempre fue mi vida toda fango como un tango del arrabal.

Why continue if to live is to cry. My heart is stained because the mud has splashed it. It is my eagerness to forget, nothing more than to forget that God gave me by name flowers, only anguish and loneliness. and loneliness. That I endured misery and pain in this cruel struggle of man, if only yesterday with lava a woman mockingly stained my name. And in seeking friendship I found falsehood, which I only found in a hundred painted mouths, carnival laughter. Only a miracle of love would bring me back to life, if to my soul that closed its doors could a soul call. If to the snow of my sorrows two good hands would erase it from me. Otherwise it will be better to die. My youth I soak it with alcohol leaving my pain in calm. Who will think that I bring to the staggering my heart and soul serene. Why remember, it's better to forget that my life has always been all mud like a tango of the slum.
