Perdóname Señor
Carlos Gardel
Forgive Me, Lord
They say I'm a bad guy
That deep down inside me
Lives a constant hatred
Of very strange ideas
That I never learned to love
That I'm a degenerate
A drunk, indifferent
It's just that disillusioned
I look down on the innocent
Who flatters the woman
Because I want to leave as punishment
My pain, my disdain, and all the bitterness
For every woman, for the friend
I've already thrown down the cross, forgive me, Lord
I've also gone through those hours
Of false joys in my youth
My flowers, my dawns have died
That's why I owe no love or gratitude to anyone
They say I'm a bad guy
That deep down inside me
Lives a constant hatred
Of very strange ideas
That I never learned to love
That I'm a degenerate
A drunk, indifferent
It's just that disillusioned
I look down on the innocent
Who flatters the woman
They say I'm a bad guy
That I've nurtured bitterness
That I'm overshadowed
It's just that I never found happiness
Not even when I wanted to love
That's why I laugh
At others' misfortunes
And gloomy and dark
I mock my own pain
Because I don't know how to cry
