Desencanto
Celia Cruz
Disenchantment
What a deep disappointment
What brutal dismay
I really want to lie down on the ground
and start crying
Tired of seeing the life that always mocks
And it shatters my song and my faith
Life is a tomb of dreams
With open crosses they ask why?
And to think that in my childhood I had so much ambition
That by dreaming I forged so much illusion
I still hear my mother, I hear her cheating on me
Because life denied me hope
That in the crib he sang to me
But longing I only achieved one love
And when I reached him he betrayed me
you betrayed me again
(Betrayed me)
You forgot me for one
(Betrayed me)
I forgot you for no one
(Betrayed me)
You looked for someone who would love you
(Betrayed me)
Without searching I found
(Betrayed me)
(Betrayed me)
I am like old gold
(Betrayed me)
That does not lose its value
(Betrayed me)
If a lover leaves me
(Betrayed me)
A better one is coming
And (he betrayed me)
What a deep disappointment
There is in my heart
In my heart
