Y Era Buena
Carlos Gardel
And She Was Good
And she was young, beautiful, and seductive
Her dear mother took care of her with care
In the neighborhood, everyone loved her
For her kindness and charming demeanor
Until a wealthy stranger
In a fancy car once approached her
He spoke of jewels, parties, and cars
He came back two or three nights and finally took her away
The mother found out
That she cries as if dead
Well, she knows that at her door
She can no longer return
No one understands
Her immense suffering
They have no feelings
They don't know how to forgive
The blow was harsh
For that good mother
And her sorrow was so great
That she soon succumbed
Just God
With great benevolence
Showing his mercy
Put an end to her pain
And she was good, sad was her fate
She has resigned herself, although her pain is great
For she understands that it was her destiny
To have followed that infamous seducer
For the man who promised her
Thousands of things he never fulfilled
Soon showed his hyena heart
And to the good girl, he abandoned her
