You passed me by
With great indifference
Your eyes didn't even
Turn towards me
I saw you, but you didn't see me
I spoke to you, but you didn't hear me
And all my bitterness
Drowned inside of me
Even life hurts me
Knowing you've forgotten me
To think that not even scorn
Do I deserve from you
And yet you remain
Tied to my existence
And if I live a hundred years
I'll think of you for a hundred years
Even life hurts me
Knowing you've forgotten me
To think that not even scorn
Do I deserve from you
And yet you remain
Tied to my existence
And if I live a hundred years
I'll think of you for a hundred years

amargura — bitterness

Amargura translates to "bitterness" or "sorrow". It's a strong emotional word that conveys deep sadness and resentment.

In "Cien Años", Vicente Fernández uses amargura to express the profound pain and sorrow he feels due to unrequited love. He sings, "Y toda mi amargura se ahogó dentro de mí" (And all my bitterness drowned inside me), vividly illustrating the depth of his suffering and the silent torment he endures.

Get ready to feel some serious longing with Vicente Fernández's "Cien Años"! This song is all about a love that just won't quit, even when it's completely unrequited. Our singer sees his former love, but she walks by "Con gran indiferencia" [With great indifference], not even glancing his way. He tries to connect, but it's like he's invisible: "Te vi sin que me vieras, Te hablé sin que me oyeras" [I saw you without you seeing me, I spoke to you without you hearing me]. Ouch! The pain is so deep, he feels like his "amargura Se ahogó dentro de mí" [bitterness drowned inside me].

It gets even more intense! He's heartbroken knowing she's forgotten him, and he feels like he doesn't even deserve her scorn. Talk about feeling low! But here's the kicker, despite all this, she's still "Unida a mi existencia" [United to my existence]. And the ultimate declaration of undying devotion? "Y si vivo cien años, Cien años pienso en ti" [And if I live a hundred years, a hundred years I'll think of you]. That's some serious dedication, even if it's a little bit obsessive. Vicente Fernández really knows how to make you feel the ache of a love that just won't let go!
