Cheating Muchachita
Carlos Gardel
Cheating Little Girl
Her laughing mouth relentlessly haunts me
That cruel memory stalks my sleepless nights
My own eyes saw how she offered him
The kiss from her lips, red as a rose
A whirlwind of madness swept through my mind
Broken with bitterness, I wanted revenge
My hands were clenched, my chest held them back
Her laughing mouth, I couldn't kill it
Cheating little girl
Till your spell is on me
If I drink enough
I keep thinking you're right in front of me
Cheating little girl
Heartless butterfly
Still I see you smiling
So enchanting in my glass
Wounded and downcast, my old wound bleeds
Let's have another drink, I want to forget
But these deep sorrows of love and betrayal
Like stubborn weeds, they're hard to pull out
From the bottom of my glass, her image haunts me
It's a curse, her laughter always the same
Flirtatious and ruthless, her mouth chains me
She mocks me to death, the ungrateful one in the glass
Cheating little girl
Till your spell is on me
If I drink enough
I keep thinking you're right in front of me
Cheating little girl
Heartless butterfly
Still I see you smiling
So enchanting in my glass
