Mi Destino Fue Quererte
Flor Silvestre
My Destiny Was to Love You
Oh! What a black and tyrannical luck is mine
to have found you in my path once,
so happy and content that I lived without you
when I didn't even dream of your name.
Until one fatal morning of my life
destiny sent you to change my fate,
at that moment I felt that your beloved image
would never be erased from my mind.
That joyful time of my spring,
when not a sadness disturbed my happiness.
How many years passed like a sweet illusion,
when not a disappointment crossed my life.
What a fatal destiny pursues and guides me
and leads my path to where I found pain,
if loving you is just continuous agony
I curse life, I curse love.
I don't know what mystery lies in your life,
that I have never been able to understand your love.
I have already lost my faith and hope,
even if you swear a thousand times that you will love me.
Why did I believe in your fiery kisses,
why did I believe in your kisses of love,
if on your lips you gave me the evil poison
I curse my fate and curse your love.
