Tres Esperanzas
Enrique Santos Discépolo
Three Hopes
I don't take another step
Sad soul within me
I feel shattered
Let's die here!
Why continue like this
Suffering like a fakir
If the world remains the same
If the Sun rises again
People have deceived me
Since the day I was born
Females have mocked me
I lost the old one
Can't you see I'm down
And messed up for being a fool
Check out the clown
And bye, let's go to sleep!
Three hopes
I had in my life
Two were white
And one stabbed
One my mother
Old and defeated
Another the people
And another a love
Three hopes
I had in my life
Two deceived me
And one died
I have no resentment
No poison, no malice
Just a desire to forget
Terror of the future!
I turned to look back
And the past made me laugh
The things I dreamed
Damn, what a fool!
Stand here right now
Silly soul within me
With three, why ask for more
It's better not to play
If one step from goodbye
There's no kiss for me
Check out the clown
And bye, let's go to sleep!
