Cartas Marcadas
Chavela Vargas
Marked Cards
For all the offenses you've done to me,
In exchange for the pain that remained,
For the immense hours of memory,
I want to dedicate this song to you.
Singing, there is no reproach that hurts us,
You can bless or curse,
With music the moon stays awake, and the sun
Is late to come out.
I don't want your love anymore, I don't wait for you,
I want to smile, I want to live,
If we're going to enjoy, I come first,
To the tune I play, they will dance.
From today on, I am bad,
You will only see marked cards,
And you will know that I always win,
Don't come back, because I will make you lose even to yourself.
