Lyrics
Español
Vida... Vida mía, tanto y tanto te adoré, Que en tu ausencia, acobardado sollocé Vencido por la soledad. No me avergüenzo al confesar que te perdí Porque mi pobreza fue brutal, En la miseria lentamente me enterré Antes que vender mi dignidad. Alma... Te comprendo y no reprocho tu traición, Pudo más un buen tapado de visón Que toda mi sinceridad. Cuánto sufrí por vos En la triste despedida, Cuánto amargor atroz Al saber que te perdía. Cargué mi cruz Y sin rencor Te di el último adiós, Mientras que vos... Te ibas tras la luz Del Judas que a Jesús Por oro lo vendió. Mala... Fue que por treinta dineros de traición, Sepultaste en mi pobre corazón Un dardo de fatalidad. Hoy ya cambiaste más de amor que de chofer Vos tenés dinero y disfrutás, Yo me conformo con saber que fui tu amor Mientras que esos otros no lo son.

Life... My life, I adored you so much and so much, That in your absence, cowed I sobbed. Overcome by loneliness. I am not ashamed to confess that I lost you For my poverty was brutal, In misery I slowly buried myself Rather than sell my dignity. Soul... I understand you and I do not reproach your betrayal, A good mink coat did more good Than all my sincerity. How much I suffered for you In the sad farewell, How atrociously bitter Knowing that I was losing you. I carried my cross And without rancor I said my last goodbye to you, While you... You were going after the light Of the Judas who sold Jesus Sold him for gold. Bad... It was that for thirty bucks of betrayal, You buried in my poor heart A dart of fatality. Today you've already changed your love more than your driver. You have money and you enjoy it, I am content to know that I was your love. While those others are not.
