el celestino

I've learned from life that it doesn't matter
The essence of who you are, what's the point?
Because it marks you with so many things
That you even lose hope in believing

Yeah, I'm saying this for you
Because you were so cowardly and cruel-hearted
I gave you my life
On a blank page, I signed it for you
All my love

What an irony of life and a bad dream
Our matchmaker ended up one day being
Your master
The kid who was our accomplice
The guardian of our love at times

Yet, I, still today
Fight to erase the traces of your love
From that pain you left here
And just like the taste from your lips
The bitter taste
And something
From the many sorrows you left in me

And I've cried so many times over your memory
From the rage
From anger and indignation
And I've searched for justification for that
Disrespecting true love

I gave you so much worth
That kiss and the ring were the signs of love
That made you my woman, just as I was your husband, but for what?
For what?

What an irony of life and a bad dream
Our matchmaker ended up one day being
Your master
That kid, our accomplice
The guardian of our love at times

Yet, I, still today
Fight to erase the traces of your love
That pain you left here
And just like the taste from your lips
The bitter taste

All those years I spent by your side and I say
I did it only for my kids
Nothing more

Unfortunate woman
But everything is paid for in life
Every step you take, every moment and every hour
Old age will come to you very lonely
Lonely
Lonely
