Sentimiento Gaucho

In an old store on Paseo Colón
Where those who have lost faith go
All dirty, ragged, one afternoon I found
A drunk sitting in a dark corner
And looking at him I felt a deep emotion
Because in his soul I sensed a secret pain
And, sitting close, I spoke to him
And then he made this faithful confession
Pay attention, friend

You know it's a man's condition to suffer
The woman I loved with all my heart
Has left me for a man who knew how to seduce her
And, although my joy left with her when she left
I wouldn't want to see her again, may she be happy in life
With the man who has her for his own good, or what do I know
Because all the love I felt for her
Was cut with a single blow by the edge of her betrayal

But it's useless, I can't, even if I want to, forget
The memory of the one who was my only love
For her it must be like the clover of scent
That perfumes the one whose life is going to be taken away
And, if someday she wanted to return
To my side again, I will forgive her
If for jealousy one can kill a man
It is forgiven when love speaks very loudly
To any woman
