Rencor
Carlos Gardel
Resentment
Resentment, my old resentment
Let me forget the cowardly betrayal
Don't you see I can't take it anymore
That I've dried up from crying so much
Let me live again
And forget the pain that slapped me yesterday
Resentment, I want to go back
To what I was; I want to live
This cursed hatred
That I carry in my veins
It embitters my life like a sentence
The wrong they've done to me
Is an open wound
That floods my chest with anger and ice
My eyes hate her because they looked at her
My lips hate her because they kissed her
I hate her with all the strength of my soul
And my hatred is as strong as my love was
Resentment, my old resentment
I don't want to suffer this endless pain
If you've already killed me once
Why do I carry death within me?
I know it's unforgivable
I know her betrayal was vile and cruel
That's why, old resentment
Let me live for what I endured
God willing, one day I'll find her in life
Crying defeated by her sad past
To pour all this contempt on her
That my life drools with bitter resentment
I hate her for the harm to my shattered love
And for a doubt that gnaws at my chest
Never repeat what I'm about to tell you
Resentment: I'm afraid you might be love!
