Te vas, amor
You're leaving, love
Si así lo quieres, ¿qué le voy a hacer?
If that's what you want, what can I do?
Tu vanidad no te deja entender
Your vanity doesn't let you understand
Que en la pobreza se sabe querer
That in poverty you learn to love
Quiero llorar
I want to cry
Y me destroza que pienses así
And it breaks me that you think like that
Y más que ahora me quedé sin ti
And even more now I'm left without you
Me duele lo que tú vas a sufrir
It hurts me what you're going to suffer
Pero recuerda
But remember
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Nobody is perfect and you'll see it
Tal vez mil cosas mejores tendrás
Maybe a thousand better things you'll have
Pero un cariño sincero, jamás
But a sincere affection, never
Vete olvidando
Start forgetting
De esto que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
About this you leave today and that you'll change
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
For the adventure that you'll already see
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
It'll be your prison and you'll never leave
Quiero llorar
I want to cry
Y me destroza que pienses así
And it breaks me that you think like that
Y más que ahora me quedé sin ti
And even more now I'm left without you
Me duele lo que tú vas a sufrir
It hurts me what you're going to suffer
Pero recuerda
But remember
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Nobody is perfect and you'll see it
Tal vez mil cosas mejores tendrás
Maybe a thousand better things you'll have
Pero un cariño sincero, jamás
But a sincere affection, never
Vete olvidando
Start forgetting
De esto que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
About this you leave today and that you'll change
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
For the adventure that you'll already see
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
It'll be your prison and you'll never leave
Pero recuerda
But remember
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Nobody is perfect and you'll see it
Tal vez mil cosas mejores tendrás
Maybe a thousand better things you'll have
Pero un cariño sincero, jamás
But a sincere affection, never
Vete olvidando
Start forgetting
De esto que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
About this you leave today and that you'll change
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
For the adventure that you'll already see
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
It'll be your prison and you'll never leave

cárcel — prison
Cárcel literally translates to "prison" or "jail". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately grabs attention.
In this song, Gilda uses "cárcel" metaphorically to describe the emotional trap the ex-lover will find themselves in. She warns that the "adventure" they seek will ultimately become their "cárcel" (prison), from which they will "nunca saldrás" (never escape). This powerful imagery makes the word very memorable and central to the song's message.
