Cuesta Abajo

Carlos Gardel Carlos Gardel

Downhill

If I dragged through this world
The shame of having been
The pain of no longer being
Under the wing of the hat
How many times, veiled
A tear appeared
I couldn't contain

If I crossed the paths
Like a pariah that destiny
Insisted on undoing
If I was weak, if I was blind
I just want them to understand today
The value that represents
The courage to love

Life was everything to me
Like a spring sun
My hope and my passion
I knew that in the world there was no room
For all the humble joy
Of my poor heart

Now, downhill in my journey
The past illusions
I can no longer erase
I dream of the past I long for
The old time I cry for
And that will never return
For following in its footsteps
I drank tirelessly
From my cup of pain

But no one understood
That if I gave everything
With each turn I left
Pieces of my heart
Now only on the slope
Lonely and already defeated
I want to confess
If that mouth lied
The love it offered me
For those bewitching eyes
I must have always given more

Life was everything to me
Like a spring sun
My hope and my passion
I knew that in the world there was no room
For all the humble joy
Of my poor heart
Now, downhill in my journey
The past illusions
I can no longer erase
I dream of the past I long for
The old time I cry for
And that will never return
