Canción Desesperada
Enrique Santos Discépolo
Desperate Song
I am a desperate song...!
A crazed leaf in the whirlwind..!
For your love, my disoriented faith
sank, shattering my heart.
Within myself I am lost,
blind from crying over an illusion...
I am a stubborn question,
that screams its pain and your betrayal..!
Why
were we taught to love,
if it's pouring senselessly
our dreams into the sea?
If love,
is an old enemy
that ignites punishments
and teaches to cry...
I ask: why?
Yes!, why were we taught to love,
if loving you killed my love?
Cruel mockery of giving everything for nothing
and at the end of a goodbye, to wake up
crying!...
Where was God when you left?
Where was the sun that didn't see you?
How can a woman never understand
that a man gives everything, giving his love?
Who makes them believe in other destinies?
Who undoes so much illusion?
I am a desperate song
that screams its pain and betrayal...!
