Por el amor de una mujer [English translation]

For the love of some woman

I was playing with fire, not knowing

that it was I, who was burning myself.

I was drinking from the fountains of pleasure

until I finally understood,

that it was not I, who she was loving.

For the love of some woman

I gave everything that I was,

the most beautiful things of my life.

But that time, that I lost,

will serve me now and then,

when my wound is healed well.

Everything still seems to me like a dream, but I know

that one day I will finally be able to forget.

Today I feel sad, but soon I’ll be singing

and I promise never to recall the past.

Because of the love for some woman

I burst in tears and went out of my mind

while she was just laughing.

I broke a glass into pieces

and let my veins bleed,

well, I didn’t know what I was doing.

For the love of some woman

I gave everything that I was,

the most beautiful things of my life.

But that time, that I lost,

will serve me now and then,

when my wound is healed well.
