Amargura [English translation]

It haunts me relentlessly

her mouth that used to smile,

That cruel memory

Lurks over my sleepless,

My own eyes have seen

as she gave him

A kiss with her own lips,

Red like a carnation.

A madness wind

Crossed my mind,

Shattered of bitterness,

I wanted revenge,

My hands were shaking,

But my chest stopped it

Her smiling mouth

I couldn't kill.

It was her love of a day

All my fortune,

I told about my joy

to the fields and the moon.

By loving her so much,

By putting my trust in she,

Today there is in my trace

Only tears and pain.

With distress and affliction

My old wound is bleeding,

Let us drink another sip

'Cause I wish to forget it,

But this profound sorrow

Of love and heartbreak,

Is like weed,

Hard to uproot.

Her image haunts me

From the bottom of my cup,

It's like a condemnation,

Her smile always the same,

Flirtatious and mercilessly,

Her mouth enchains me,

Makes a mockery forever

The ungrateful in my cup.

It was her love of a day

All my fortune,

I told about my joy

to the fields and the moon.

By loving her so much,

By putting my trust in she,

Today there is in my trace

Only tears and pain.
