Cuesta Abajo
Carlos Gardel
Downhill
If I dragged through this world
The shame of having been
And the pain of no longer being
Under the brim of the hat
How many times, muffled
A tear peeped out
I couldn't contain myself
If I crossed the roads
Like an outcast that fate
He insisted on undoing
If I was lazy, if I was blind
I just want you to understand today
The value it represents
The courage to want
It was my whole life
Like a spring sun
My hope and my passion
I knew that there was no room in the world
All the humble joy
From my poor heart
Now, downhill on my ride
Past illusions
I can't pull them off anymore
I dream of the past I long for
The old time that I cry
And that will never return
To follow in his footsteps
I drank tirelessly
In my cup of pain
But nobody understood
That if I gave him everything
At each turn he left
Pieces of heart
Now only on the slope
Lonely and already defeated
I want to confess
If that mouth lied
The love that he offered me
Through those witch eyes
I will always have given more
It was my whole life
Like a spring sun
My hope and my passion
I knew that there was no room in the world
All the humble joy
From my poor heart
Now, downhill on my ride
Past illusions
I can't pull them off anymore
I dream of the past I long for
The old time that I cry
And that will never return
