Qué desencanto tan hondo
What a deep disenchantment
Qué desconsuelo brutal
What brutal grief
Qué ganas de echarme en el suelo
How I want to lie on the ground
Y ponerme a llorar
And start crying
Cansa', de ver la vida que siempre se burla
Tired', of seeing life that always makes fun of
Y hace pedazos mi canto y mi fe
And it shatters my song and my faith
La vida es tumba de ensueños
Life is a tomb of dreams
Con luces que abiertas preguntan pa' qué
With open lights ask what
Pensar que en mi niñez tanto ambicioné
To think that in my childhood I aspired so much
Que al soñar forjé tanta ilusión
That when I dreamed I forged so much illusion
Oigo a mi madre aún, la oigo engañándome
I hear my mother still, I hear her cheating on me
Porque la vida me negó las esperanzas
Because life denied me hope
Que en la cuna me cantó,
That in the cradle he sang to me,
Pero ansia'o sólo alcancé un amor
But craving'o I only reached a love
Y cuando lo alcancé me traicionó
And when I caught up with him he betrayed me.
Me traicionaste otra vez (me traicionó)
You betrayed me again (betrayed me)
Tú por una me olvidaste (me traicionó)
You forgot me for one (betrayed me)
Yo por nadie te olvidé (me traicionó)
I forgot you for no one (betrayed me)
Buscaste quien te quisiera (me traicionó)
You looked for someone who loved you (betrayed me)
Yo sin buscar encontré (me traicionó, me traicionó)
I without searching found (betrayed me, betrayed me)
Yo soy como el oro viejo (me traicionó)
I am like old gold (betrayed me)
Que no pierde su valor (me traicionó)
That does not lose its value (betrayed me)
Si se me aleja un amante (me traicionó)
If a lover moves away from me (he betrayed me)
Se aproxima otro mejor (me traicionó)
A better one is coming (he betrayed me)
Qué desencanto tan hondo
What a deep disenchantment
Hay en mi corazón
There is in my heart
En mi corazón
In my heart
