Noche de Reyes
Carlos Gardel
Three Kings' Night
I loved her like no one perhaps has loved
And adored her so much that I even felt jealous
For her, I became good, honest, and a good husband
And in a hardworking man, I transformed my life
After some time of joining our destiny
A little boy was born, pride of my home
And it was such joy to see my path clearly
To be a family man, honest, and work
But one Three Kings' Night
When I returned home
I found out she was cheating on me
With my most faithful friend
Offended in my self-love
I wanted to avenge the outrage
Filled with anger and courage
Without mercy, I killed them!
What a scene, friends, I don't want to remember it!
It fills me with shame, hatred, and resentment
What's the use of being good! If besides seeking revenge
They pierced the arrow of pain into my chest
That's why, my friend, as today is Three Kings' Day
I leave the little one's shoes outside
Waiting for a little gift and not knowing that to his mother
For being false and vile, his father killed her!
