The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Fuiste Cruel" by Ibrahim Ferrer.

Lyrics

Tú bien sabes que fuiste cruel
Con mi noble amor;
Que destruiste todo el encanto
De mi dulce passion
Ahora déjame de querer
Te lo pido así
Porque quiero vivir
Una vida feliz
Y olvidarme por siempre de ti
Tu inconciencia ha destrozado mi alma
Y ya no creo en tus promesas fingidas
Con mi amor no podrás contar ya nunca
Lo he jurado ante un altar muy sagrado
No quiero verte ni recorder
Lo que sufrí por ti
Quiero irme lejos, muy lejos, para que sepas
Que aunque no quieras
Te olvidaré. (x2)

Lyrics translation

You know you were cruel.
With my noble love;
That you destroyed all the charm
Of my sweet passion
Now stop loving me
I'm asking you like this
Because I want to live
A happy life
And forget about you forever
Your unconsciousness has shattered my soul
And I don't believe in your fake promises anymore
With my love you can never count
I have sworn it before a very sacred altar
I don't want to see you or recorder
What I suffered for you
I want to go far, far away, just so you know
That even if you don't want to
I'll forget you. (x2)
