Rencor

Resentment, my old resentment,
Let me forget
The cowardly betrayal.
Don't you see that I can't take it anymore,
That I've dried up
From crying so much!
Let me live again
And forget the pain
That slapped me yesterday...
Resentment, I want to go back
To what I was...
I want to live...

This cursed hatred
That I carry in my veins
Bitters my life
Like a sentence.
The wrong they did to me
Is an open wound
That floods my chest
With anger and bitterness.
My eyes hate her
Because they looked at her.
My lips hate her
Because they kissed her.
I hate her with all
The strength of my soul
And my hatred is as great
As my love was.

Resentment, my old resentment,
I don't want to live
This endless sorrow...
If you've already killed me once
Why do I carry
Death within me?
I know it's unforgivable...
I know it was vile
And her betrayal was cruel...
That's why, old resentment,
Let me live
For what I suffered.

God willing, one day
I'll find her in life
Crying defeated
Over her sad past
To pour over her
All this contempt
That dirties my chest
With bitter resentment.
I hate her for the harm
To my shattered love
And for a doubt
That gnaws at my chest.
Never repeat
What I'm going to tell you:
Resentment, I'm afraid
That you might be love.

That's why, old resentment,
Let me live
For what I suffered.
