The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Desdenosa" by Lhasa de Sela.

Lyrics

Aunque mi vida este de sombras llena
No necesito amar, no necesito
Yo comprendo que amar es una pena
Y que una pena de amor es infinita
Y no necesito amar, tengo vergüenza
De volver a querer lo que he querido
Toda repetición es una ofensa
Y toda supreción es un olvido
Desdeñosa, semejante a los dioses
Yo seguiré luchando por mi suerte
Sin escuchar las espantadas voces
De los envenendados por la muerte
No necesito amar, absurdo fuera
Repetiré el sermón de la montaña
Por eso de llevar hasta que muera
Todo el odio inmortal que me acompaña

Lyrics translation

Although my life is full of Shadows
I don't need to love, I don't need to
I understand that loving is a pity
And that a pain of love is infinite
And I don't need to love, I'm ashamed
Of wanting what I've wanted again
Every repetition is an offense
And all suppression is a forgetfulness
Disdainful, like the gods
I'll keep fighting for my luck
Without hearing the frightened voices
Of those poisoned by death
I don't need to love, nonsense out
I will repeat the Sermon on the mountain
That's why I wear it till I die
All the immortal hatred that accompanies me
