Amarga Navidad [English translation]

Do it all at once

with one single blow

Why do you want to kill me little by little?

If the day is coming when you abandon me,

I prefer, my love, that it be tonight

I liked that you left in December

Let your cruel goodbye be my Christmas

I don't want to begin the New Year

With the same love

that has hurt me so much

And soon afterwards

That many things happen

That you are regretful

That you are very afraid

Then you will know

That what you left behind

Was what you needed most

But now there is no solution

I liked that you left in December

Let your cruel goodbye be my Christmas

I don't want to begin the New Year

With the same love

that has hurt me so much

...

And soon afterwards

That many things happen

That you are regretful

That you are very afraid

Then you will know

That what you left behind

Was what you wanted most

But now there is no solution

I liked that you left in December

Let your cruel goodbye be my Christmas

I don't want to begin the New Year

With the same love

that has hurt me so much
