The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Con la Mitad" by José Alfredo Jiménez.
Lyrics
Con la mitad del cariño que yo te tengo
podrán hacerte feliz
con la mitad de los besos que yo te daba
la vida entera podrias vivir
Con que te quieran tantito nomas tantito
podrás salvar el dolor
de no quedarte en el mundo
con mucha pena con mucha angustia
y pidiendo amor
Pero sé que tú vas a pagar lo que debes
y me sales debiendo tanto
que con todas las cosas que tienes
no cubre la deuda que me esta matando
ME MATAS AMOR, ME MATAS!
Con la mitad de mi vida
ni media copa aqui me vengo a tomar
por esos años queridos
cuando en tus brazos
me fui enseñando a sufrir y amar
porque a pesar de tus cosas
que nunca sepas lo que es un cielo sin sol
ya que a pesar de tu infamia a dios le pido
te falte todo y te sobre amor
Pero sé que tú vas a pagar lo que debes
y me sales debiendo tanto
que con todas las cosas que tienes
no cubre la deuda que me esta matando
Lyrics translation
With half the love I have for you
they can make you happy
with half the kisses I used to give you
the whole life you could live
With that they love you so much just so much
you can save the pain
if you don't stay in the world
with a lot of grief with a lot of anguish
and asking for love
But I know you're gonna pay what you owe.
and you owe me so much
that with all the things you have
it doesn't cover the debt that's killing me.
YOU KILL ME, LOVE, YOU KILL ME!
With half my life
not half a glass here I come to have
for those dear years
when in your arms
I was teaching myself to suffer and love
because despite your things
never know what a sunless sky is
for in spite of your infamy I ask God
you miss everything and you over love
But I know you're gonna pay what you owe.
and you owe me so much
that with all the things you have
it doesn't cover the debt that's killing me.
