Por Primera Vez
María Jiménez
For the First Time
For the first time I didn't even put my hands in
And in self-defense I endured the fall
I, who was fleeing from a world of deceit
Came face to face with the worst of life.
The first time I held you in my arms
You were crying, saying you hadn't sinned
But you already had I don't know how many failures
And you wanted to erase your past with my love.
Your face was already covered in kisses!
And on your skin the mark that sorrows leave
But instead of loving you, they gave you contempt
I shouldn't pay!
I shouldn't pay!
I don't have to pay
I shouldn't have to pay for others' debts!
I could swear I loved you madly
And didn't think you'd end up losing yourself
But instead of love, you gave me bitterness
And as you are, I prefer to lose you
The first time I held you in my arms
You were crying, saying you hadn't sinned
But you already had I don't know how many failures
And you wanted to erase your past with my love.
Your face was already covered in kisses!
And on your skin the mark that sorrows leave
But instead of loving you, they gave you contempt
I shouldn't pay!
I shouldn't pay!
I don't have to pay
I shouldn't have to pay for others' debts!
