Me Equivoqué Contigo
José Alfredo Jiménez
I Was Wrong with You
I was wrong about you
I messed up like a real man
Like very few people
Have ever messed up
I met you at church
And I watched you in silence
Not to disturb your prayer
Which, for me, is sacred
For your sweet little face
For your clear gaze
For so many other things
I would have sworn
But what a sad reality you’ve offered me
What a huge disappointment to have met you
Who knows why God put you in my path
I was wrong about you
As if I didn’t know
That the greatest pains
Come from my loves
I was wrong about you
After so many years
Of so much bitterness
And so many disappointments
But I found you in church
And your sweet little face
Made me build again
A world of illusions
But what a sad reality you’ve offered me
What a huge disappointment to have met you
Who knows why God put you in my path
I was wrong about you
