Meditando
Carlos Gardel
Meditating
When the past comes back to me
I think of the bitter hours of life
Those hours that are never forgotten
Because they marked some betrayal
I keep in my soul the same as in a chest
Many memories of those sad days
And towards my path, lies and deceit
And cruel betrayals within friendship
I chased after the hope of finding a burning passion
And disillusionment killed my love
Words, false words from yesterday
Where so many loves I sought
I haven't had friends to whom I could share my sorrows
And who could keep a secret
They all betrayed me
And laughed at my deep sorrow
I called out to life wishing to ask her
If the world was full of ingratitude
And she smiled and said: Don’t doubt it
That wherever you go, you’ll find lies
And since then, sad memories crowd my mind
Tormenting my soul
False affections that show bitterness
The farce of selfishness and wickedness
I chased after the hope of finding a burning passion
And disillusionment killed my love
Words, false words from yesterday
Where so many loves I sought
I haven't had friends to whom I could share my sorrows
And who could keep a secret
They all betrayed me
And laughed at my deep sorrow
