Corazón Maldito

Violeta Parra Violeta Parra

Cursed Heart

Heart, answer
Why do you beat? Yes
Why do you beat?
Like a bell
That gets angry. Yes
That gets angry
Why do you beat?

Don't you see that the night
I spend awake. Yes
I spend awake
Like in a violent sea
The caravel. Yes
The caravel
You keep me awake

What are you thinking?
I'm not made of iron. Yes
I'm not made of iron
You treat me the same
As you do the dogs. Yes
As you do the dogs
It's my exile

What is my sin?
To mistreat me. Yes
To mistreat me
Like the prisoner
By the gendarmes. Yes
By the gendarmes
You want to kill me

But to you they hide
Hard walls. Yes
Hard walls
And you squeeze my blood
Between your nets. Yes
Between your nets
Why don't you give in?

Cursed heart
Without mercy. Yes
Without mercy
Blind, deaf, and dumb
From birth. Yes
From birth
You torment me
Without mercy
You torment me
Without mercy
