Lyrics
Me mandaron una carta mujer
Y yo la recibi
No la quise leer
Porque alli comprendi
Que tu me eras infiel
Que me decia esos renglones de ti
No te puedo decir
Pero hay algo que se
Que tu vivias por el
Y yo moriria por ti
Yo soñaba contenerte entre mis brazos, nena
Con llevarte hasta el altar y hacerte mi mujer
Dibujaba tu figura entre el mar y la arena
Y hoy todas mis ilusiones ya no pueden ser
El dolor, que un dia de mis se fue
Hoy volvio y yo no lo acepte
Los que paso con vida
No se lo he deseado a nadie
Solo vivia de mentiras
Una forma inexplicable
Si un dia de estos el se aprovecha de ti
No le guardes rencor
Que lo mismo hago yo
Te deseo lo mejor
Para que seas feliz
El disfrutara solo contenerte a su lado
Con besar tus labios y mirar tus ojos bien
Si cuando se sienta de ti muy enamorado
Nunca se te ocurra hacerle
Lo que a mi tambien
El dolor, que un dia de mis se fue
Hoy volvio y yo no lo acepte
Porque yo ahora puedo vencer
El rencor con mi nuevo querer
Lyrics translation
They sent me a letter, woman.
And I received it
I didn't want to read it.
Because there I understood
That you were unfaithful to me
That I was told those lines of you
I can't tell you
But there's something I know
That you lived for him
And I would die for you
I dreamed of holding you in my arms, baby
With taking you down the aisle and making you my wife
I drew your figure between the sea and the sand
And today all my illusions can no longer be
The pain, that one day of my was gone
He came back today and I didn't accept it.
The ones I spend alive
I didn't wish it on anyone.
I just lived on lies.
An inexplicable form
If one of these days he takes advantage of you
Don't hold a grudge against him.
That I do the same
I wish you the best
To make you happy
He'll enjoy just holding you by his side
With kissing your lips and looking at your eyes well
If when he feels very much in love with you
Don't ever think of making him
What to me too
The pain, that one day of my was gone
He came back today and I didn't accept it.
Because I can win now
The grudge against my new will
