La Mariposa
Edmundo Rivero
The Butterfly
Not that I'm sorry
For having loved you so much
What saddens me is your forgetfulness
And your betrayal
It plunges me into bitter tears
If you could see, I'm so sad
That I sing to avoid crying
If you left for your own good
For your own good
I have to forgive you!
That afternoon when I saw you
Your figure pleased me
Girl from the slums
And without knowing why I followed you
And gave you my heart
And it was only for my misfortune
See how sincere my love was
That I never imagined
The bitterness of your betrayal
That alone and sad I remained
Without love and without faith
And with a defeated heart
After sipping traitor
From the rosebush of my love
You leave, deceiver
To seek
The charm in another flower
And seeking the purest
The most beautiful in color
You blind her with your beauty
To then
Deceive her with your love
Be careful, butterfly
Of the false loves
Don't let the brightness blind you
Of some false passion
Because then you will pay
For all your wickedness
For all your betrayal
