La Sentencia
Violeta Parra
The Sentence
I love you like no one else
You don't know how to reciprocate,
Your feelings are variable
You will regret it later.
It will be when my soul
Gets tired of suffering,
When I have forgotten you,
You will love me too.
Ungrateful, you know what suffering is like,
My soul can't take it anymore.
You leave in the morning, no matter how much I beg you,
You don't want to tell me where you're going.
Don't be a little ungrateful thing,
May God have mercy on me,
May He calm this great pain
That doesn't let me sleep.
It's an ancient custom
To ask for forgiveness,
After they do their thing,
I don't know if I should honor you.
You must pay the penance,
You must endure great pain,
You taught me to be bad
I don't want your love anymore.
Then it will be mine
Eternal happiness,
I will make you pay dearly,
Every evil for evil.
