Corazón Maldito
Inti-Illimani
Cursed Heart
Heart, answer,
why do you beat, yes,
why do you beat,
like a bell
that gets angry, yes,
that gets angry.
Why do you beat.
Don't you see that the night
I spend awake, yes,
I spend awake,
like in a violent sea
the caravel, yes,
the caravel.
You keep me awake.
What is my sin
to mistreat me, yes,
to mistreat me,
like the prisoner
by the gendarmes,
yes, by the gendarmes.
You want to kill me.
But they hide you
with hard walls, yes,
hard walls
and you squeeze my blood
in your nets, yes,
in your nets.
Why don't you give in.
Cursed heart
without mercy, yes,
without mercy,
blind, deaf, and dumb
from birth, yes,
from birth.
You torment me.
