The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Me Da Pena Confesarlo" by Carlos Gardel.
Lyrics
Nace el hombre en este mundo remanyao por el destino,
Y prosigue su camino muy confiado del rigor,
Sin pensar que la inclemencia de la vida sin amor,
Va enredando su existencia en los tientos del dolor.
Pero llega que un momento se da cuenta de su suerte,
Y se amarga hasta la muerte sin tener ya salvacin,
Pues comprende que la vida fue tan slo un metejn
Al perder la fe querida de su pobre corazn.
Me da pena confesarlo, pero es triste, qu canejo!
El venirse tan abajo, derrotao y para viejo;
No es de hombre lamentarse pero al ver cmo me alejo,
Sin poderlo remediar yo lloro sin querer… llorar.
Si no fuera que el recuerdo de mi madre tan querida
Me acollara en esta vida con sentida devocin,
No era yo quien aguantaba esta triste situacin,
Ni el que as se contemplaba sin abrirse el corazn.
Pero hay cosas, compaero, que ninguno las comprende,
Uno a veces se defiende del dolor para vivir,
Como aquel que haciendo alarde de coraje en el sufrir
No se mata de cobarde por temor de no morir.
Lyrics translation
Man is born in this world remanyao by fate,
And he goes on his way very confident of the rigor,
Without thinking that the inclementness of life without love,
He's entangling his existence in the throes of pain.
But there comes a moment when he realizes his luck,
And is bitter to death without salvation,
Well, you understand that life was such a metejn
Losing the Dear faith of his poor heart.
I'm sorry to confess, but it's sad, what a dog!
Coming so low, defeated and old;
It's not a man to complain but when I see how I walk away,
Without being able to remedy it, I cry without wanting to ... cry.
If it were not for the memory of my mother so dear
I'll be in this life with heartfelt devotion,
I wasn't the one who put up with this sad situation.,
Neither did the ace contemplate himself without opening his heart.
But there are things, compaero, that no one understands,
One sometimes defends himself from pain to live,
Like the one who flaunts courage in suffering
You don't kill a coward for fear of dying.
