Ayer Me Contaron
Chava Flores
Yesterday They Told Me
What I now suffer I had not suffered before,
yesterday they told me what you have done to me,
yesterday they tore apart the soul in my chest
and I was left crying your disloyal forgetfulness.
It has not been your actions or what happened
that has left my judgment shattered;
don't pretend it was spite either:
it was the pain of having lost you.
You have not hurt me like they did;
upon seeing that I loved you, they came telling
that you have deceived me... why did they say it?
Cursed a thousand times for going around proclaiming!
Cursed a thousand times, for they have already forbidden me
the infinite joy of continuing to love you!
