Sentimiento Gaucho

In an old store on Paseo Colón
Where those who have lost faith go
All dirty, ragged, one afternoon I found
A drunk sitting in a dark corner
Looking at him, I felt a deep emotion
Because in his soul I sensed a secret pain
And, sitting close, I spoke to him
And then he made this cruel confession
Pay attention, friend

He knows that suffering is a man's condition
The woman I loved with all my heart
Has left me for a man who knew how to seduce her
And, although my joy left with her
I wouldn't want to see her ever again... May she be happy in life
With the man who has her for her good... Or what do I know
Because all the love I felt for her
Was cut in one stroke with the edge of her betrayal

But it's useless... I can't, even if I want to, forget
The memory of the one who was my only love
For her, it must be like the clover with scent
That perfumes the one whose life is going to be taken away
And, if she ever wanted to come back
To my side again, I will forgive her
If jealousy can lead a man to kill
It is forgiven when love speaks loudly
To any woman
