Lyrics
Sólo falta que tú me desprecies
Sólo falta que tú me traiciones
Pa’quitarme de plano la vida
Sólo falta que tú me abandones
Mis amigos por fiel me dejaron
Cuanto amor he tenido me olvida
Sólo falta que tú te me vayas
Pa’quitarme de plano la vida
Tú has llegado a formar en mi mundo
La ilusión con que tanto soñaba
Pero ya te me estás escapando:
Como todas te quieres portar
Yo no puedo obligarte a quererme;
Tú sabrás si por otro me dejas
Yo no voy a labrar tu desgracia;
Tú sabrás si te vas o te quedas
No es posible ganarle al destino
Cuando todo se tiene perdido;
No es posible olvidar un cariño
Que se lleva en el alma metido
Yo nací pa’vivir sin consuelo
Todo el mundo me hiere y me olvida
Sólo falta que tú te me vayas
Pa’quitarme de plano la vida
Tú has llegado a formar en mi mundo
La ilusión con que tanto soñaba
Pero ya te me estás escapando:
Como todas te quieres portar
Yo no puedo obligarte a quererme;
Tú sabrás si por otro me dejas
Yo no voy a labrar tu desgracia;
Tú sabrás si te vas o te quedas
Lyrics translation
All you have to do is despise me.
All you have to do is betray me.
To take my life off the map
All you have to do is abandon me.
My friends for faithful left me
How much love I've had I forget
I just need you to leave me.
To take my life off the map
You have come to form in my world
The illusion I dreamed of so much
But you're already slipping away:
Like you all want to behave
I can't force you to love me;
You'll know if you leave me for another.
I'm not going to carve out your misfortune.;
You'll know if you leave or stay.
It is not possible to beat fate
When all is lost;
It is not possible to forget a fondness
That is carried in the soul tucked
I was born to live without comfort
Everyone hurts me and forgets me
I just need you to leave me.
To take my life off the map
You have come to form in my world
The illusion I dreamed of so much
But you're already slipping away:
Like you all want to behave
I can't force you to love me;
You'll know if you leave me for another.
I'm not going to carve out your misfortune.;
You'll know if you leave or stay.
